Dex Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hi, everyone . I am a brand new member, here. I have this 1940 Lincoln Cent and I'm not sure if this is an error that happened at the mint or in somebody's garage. Could these indentations have been produced at the mint? I have searched high and low and cannot find any resources citing such markings. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Definitely post mint but I've never seen damage like that before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Nice find. Looks to me like someone mounted it in some sort of tool or device that has a vise-like grip to it. Welcome to CoinPeople. I hope that you will enjoy it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dex Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks for the input on my coin, I guess it's just a novelty. Of course, I was hoping it could have been something caused by the mint. I do appreciate the help! I'm going to post another cent I have which features errors, I am confident are not post mint in nature. I will title the topic, "Struck through grease error ~ Missing Indian" Again, thanks for the input on the 1940 cent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
