I picked up this high grade 1919 broadstruck Lincoln Wheat cent from an ebay auction by the famous ancient coins dealer Harlan Berk. It is quite the striking mint error.

These are Berk's photos. I haven't received the coin yet.

Very neat . Care to tell us what it cost you? Does anyone think an acetone bath would be in order?

Very very nice. Those don't come up often. Either they are very rare or people have kept them all and not selling.

John1,

With postage of $11.00, I paid a total of $60.00 for the coin.

Berk always sends coins very securely packaged. It's his typical shipping cost.

Berk's firm is as old as the hills and has an ironclad reputation. You still have a great deal even with this shipping fee.

The coin arrived today. I gave it an acetone soak and took some photos.
