lelliott608 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 04/06/2011 8:53 pm I was looking through some Lincolns that I purchased a while back and came across this 2000 S cent. If it hadn't been paying attention, I might have missed this. As it is, I'm not sure how this happened or even what it is. There appears to be an indentation (in the shape of a 'C' or semi-circle) right above the 1st 0 in the date. Any ideas about what this may be? Perhaps a piece of metal that ended up on the die and was punched into the coin? Edited by lelliott608 04/06/2011 8:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

lelliott608 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 04/06/2011 9:47 pm Yeah, this one is just an 'interesting keeper' for me. I'll put it in a binder sleeve to keep company with the clipped planchet, off-center, and other miscellaneous error cents in my collection. It'll definitely get a good home. I've just never seen anything like that on a proof coin before... Thanks to everyone for the info! Report this Post to the Staff
