sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 02/12/2021 11:01 am Search the whole coin for laminations and struck through errors. Then you will want to look at the mint mark to see if it was repunched. Finally you can see if the letters or the eye / ear of Lincoln is doubled. You can search any of these terms to find out what they look like. Welcome. Report this Post to the Staff
