shuddle10 New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 07/21/2023 11:32 am Hello All, Going through a bucket of change left untouched since the 90's, I found this 1993 Lincoln Cent with errors, most notable is seated Lincoln seems to be missing in the middle of the memorial columns and is struck haphazardly three columns to the right. HOWEVER, the coins in the bucket are a mess with verdigris, corrosion, etc. Some are not salvageable but I picked out the best while sorting them to look at first. This coin is a better condition than most. The FG is also machine doubled, as well as features in LIBERTY and TRUST. On the cameo, there is a die crack or Cud on Lincoln's forehead and temple area. It's a very interesting coin, especially the seated Lincoln error. If there is another term for this displacement, please let me know. It seems like I'm not using the right Google keywords to pull up internet examples but once saw a coin with the reverse Lincoln misplaced while researching another coin online. I wonder if this error has been discovered on this particular coin and others, of course. I know this is a great find and am hopeful the coin can be restored. I'm hesitant to clean it without guidance or a pro nearby. Any and all advice is appreciated. Thank you, Shuddle10 Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74189 Posts	Posted 07/21/2023 12:02 pm I think Lincoln is there. It's just the corrosion making it seem like he isn't there. The reverse might be showing Die Deterioration Doubling or Machine Doubling. The obverse is probably showing Split Plating Doubling on the obverse. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Does anyone think I should clean it up and do the errors make it worth anything? The condition is rotten. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/21/2023 4:30 pm First, just a zinc bubble three bays over. You can see them in the steps also. There are no errors on this coin. It is worth .01. Second, never clean any coin. If this was a $100.00 coin it's worth a lot less now. The doubling is Machine Doubling. Spend this coin before the zinc rot really takes over.
