Gus44 Valued Member Brazil 59 Posts	Posted 03/02/2025 4:30 pm hello everybody! I was analyzing this coin when I came across letters on its edge. It seems to me that there was a double die in these letters Is this type of error common? I believe you may also have double ears. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73667 Posts	Posted 03/02/2025 4:41 pm Just seeing damage ( PMD), on the edge, and no doubling. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 03/02/2025 6:11 pm Sorry, but I agree with the previous comments. Circulation damage on this cent. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 03/02/2025 6:31 pm There is no way for letters to appear on a Lincoln Cent during the striking of the coin. It is just PMD Report this Post to the Staff
Gus44 Valued Member Brazil 59 Posts	Posted 03/02/2025 6:40 pm Yes, I agree that the coin is damaged, but I see letters written on the edge Report this Post to the Staff
Gus44 Valued Member Brazil 59 Posts	Posted 03/02/2025 6:44 pm I see that it is difficult for damage to cause the same effect twice as it happens in R Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 03/02/2025 7:24 pm Then please explain how those letters would appear during the striking of the coin. The collar does not have any letters on it, it is smooth. Report this Post to the Staff
Gus44 Valued Member Brazil 59 Posts	Posted 03/02/2025 7:56 pm That's what I would like to know, I know it wasn't supposed to have those letters on the border, but I still think they are letters Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10478 Posts	Posted 03/02/2025 9:11 pm Just various circulation hits/scratches that may look like letters due to Pareidolia. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 03/03/2025 08:59 am I am not seeing those marks on the edge as letters. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
