SORRY, sorry! I did 'family' time tonight and didn't check CCF for a few hours. I'll get some new images in the morning and post them here.
THANKS for the comments and possible id of the date and the AM check, too.

A nice eye-appealing "sinking Lincoln". But geez, family comes first so no need to apologize for getting to CCF later.

Family should always come first. So take your time - I have a feeling that the forum will still be here.
For folks without a family anymore (like me) I'll just keep hanging out here with you kind folks.

Coin Community FAMILY!  Okay, I got an image of Mr. Lincoln's face and one of the FG at the base of the memorial. I used my digital microscope to get the sharpest images, but the built in lights seem to kill the true color of the copper.

Thank you, sir! Alrighty then, it's official, definitely the 2000 chicken lips. It would have been cool to have a WAM too but it as I suspected, just the normal reverse. Thanks again and you can now label your coin with the correct year. -makecents-

@tropicalbats I really like the term 'Sinking Lincoln.' It will go nicely with the names used to help sell error coins like 'Spitting Eagle' and 'Ghost Comet.'  ebay, here I come!! RARE, RARE, RARE 'Sinking Lincoln' Cent!!!! ONLY ONE KNOWN! $2200.00 + $4.18 shipping. NO RETURNS!
If I sell it for that, I'll cut you in!  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

@makecents THANKS for helping with the year! I hadn't heard the term 'Chicken Lips' that's too funny! Yeah, looking at the coin this morning and then seeing the FG on the microscope I could tell it wasn't a WAM. Thanks everyone for all of your comments and insights. Lots more errors to come. This is just too much fun! ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

You are more than welcome. I've enjoyed your error coins, very cool! Here is VV marked up for those that did not check out the link. The lip stands out in a big way and along with that, the beard on the neck looks totally different on the 2000 year. In addition, the 2001-2009 have a little piece of collar that is not seen on the 2000 that I have pointed out with the yellow arrow.  -makecents-

Here's the Lincoln's neck and collar. I'm in awe of your detailed knowledge of the cent design changes! Bravo!  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

I have been fortunate enough to have several good teachers and some of it just stuck.
