HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25153 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 12:36 am This is a 1918 Lincoln Wheat cent that upon cursory examination appears to be a double-struck coin, although it is not. I'm posting this as a test for newcomers to see if they can tell me why it is not an error coin. I'll reveal more about it after a couple of days.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74060 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 12:46 am I already know the answer, but I won't say. I'll keep that for the newer members to figure out. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Thank you for that. I appreciate the kind words. The date wasn't easy to see. I didn't see it at first. I took another look and saw it. I'll look forward to the additional commentary by the newcomers. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 2:42 pm Naw, not a Cud, while they will always involve the rim, they will also be raised higher than the field because of the void created by the absence of part of the die.

surfacewave Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 3:55 pm Yea I realize it is not a Cud but on ebay it would be. Did some one put it thru a metal press, since it is thin, manually scribe a cut line the heat the outer portion to give that gas bubble effect. The reverse looks like it has metal flow lines out to the extended portion of the coin (stretch marks). This is a cool tread more people should try to answer. I do not mind being ignorant that is why I am here to learn Edited by surfacewave 07/28/2023 4:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 4:09 pm Hey Hondo, How about an edge on image of this to show how warped (bent) or not it is? Collecting since 1972.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25153 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 4:32 pm Big hint. This should give you all of the information needed to pass the test. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Khromtau Pillar of the Community United States 676 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 6:59 pm Looks like a railroad coin, I am guilty of doing similar, just not wheat cents. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25153 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 7:02 pm Dearborn, it lays almost flat with reverse down - very little warpage. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
