Full Version: 1914 Lincoln Cent Error ?
Is this an Error or post mint damage?
It's an error! 
If that small tab hadn't been ther and that part been fully sheered off, it'd be known as a clipped coin. Since it seems that it was clipped after minting, I don't know what you call it.
Nice find. Especially with the early date.

Nice double strike mint error.
Yep. Looks like a double strike to me too. Kool.
It's a mint error, but not a double strike. It's called an Indented Second Strike. An Indent Second Strike is when a coin is struck normally and was struck a second time off-center.
If I were you I'd go to the www.coppercoins.com web site. The guy there has two books out on Lincoln Cents and really wants more info such as your coin.

This would be considered a double strike.... and not an "indented second strike" that term refers to something completely different. it would also be one I would like to examine closer before giving it the complete thumbs up...
If you do find out exactly what that thing is all about, could you get back to us with the information?
From looking at the pictures for some time It does appear to be a genuine double strike IMO
hj, do u know about "one cent " coin in 1974 of USA ???
