errorluvr New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 4:31 pm I was lucky enough to find a roll of red 1959 D Lincoln Memorial cent coins. I see this striping through several of them and I am unsure if it is a die error or post mint error. Your sage advice is always welcome and I look forward to your opinions. This after all a beautiful coin...also if you see anything else in it please tell me. :) Report this Post to the Staff

errorluvr New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 4:44 pm Since there is the remainder of a die clash in this should it go into the books as an error or go back into the roll to be sent on it's life? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 7:37 pm Note the clash mark is see near the forehead. So it is polishing lines. Note the reduction of the Liberty devices. It was a hard polishing that was very abrasive. Report this Post to the Staff
