Ended up winning it for $25 including shipping. 2000 Lincoln Memorial cent mint error - double struck uniface Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34495 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 05:51 am @nic, it looks to me like there is a whisper of a zero visible in the double-struck area. It may be even more apparent if the coin is held at more of an angle to the light.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5829 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 08:01 am I wondered the same thing about the date at first, but I'm with Spence on the whisper of a zero.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6123 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 09:25 am Thanks for the great comments! And while not obvious, the final zero is visible in the double struck area. There is also a zero visible in the details of the second strike but given all the stretching going on I'm not sure if that is the second or third zero. Report this Post to the Staff
