Cool Lincoln Roll Finds (From Bank Rolls) - Post Yours!

I have a plated 53 as well. I think maybe they got in a 43 plating process. Mine actually has a hint of yellow (plating over copper). Pretty cool contrast with other coppers.



Edit: The 43 is plated

I'm not sure what "a 43 plating process" is. Most plated coins are the result of science class experiments and are considered PMD.

nice ones I found tonight

I searched through one box today, and found only four wheats. Wheats, it seems, have been drying up for me lately. The most interesting find was a 1 centesima coin from Panama.

Ricardocody's 1975 Lincoln with the counterstrike is based upon the famous painting by John Trumbull, depicting the signers of the Declaration of Independence, with the committee responsible for the draft of the Declaration,which was John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston and Roger Sherman, presenting the Declaration to the President of the Continental Congress, John Hancock, along with secretary of the Congress Charles Thomson

I am pretty sure this is a "die crack" error, is that correct?

Like Kefiroth said, it's more like a lamination. In another word, it's a planchet defect that happened more often in the old day.

Lamination, combine with wood-grain, and a possible small Cud on the reverse (btw 3'clock and 4'clock), I say it's a keeper because it's UNIQUE (even when 1926 in such graded of VG doesn't worth much).

thx for the info, I thought for sure I had figured out what a die crack looked like. Doesn't matter though, as long as its a legit error then I am happy with the find, especially since its on an old wheat.
