Cherry Picker Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 This Lincoln appears to be brass on OBV & Copper Rev.. Not sure if thats commen or uncommen for these errors.?? I tried different methods to get a good pic, but the scanner seemed to capture the yellow brass tone of the Lincoln best.. Anyhow, this one defenitely stands out in a croud.!

thedeadpoint Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I've seen a few of these. I think its just a bad mix of the alloy. But if one side looks copper, then that's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherry Picker Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 they are pretty common i have found at least a hundred through the last few years digging through change.. Dutchman Out of how many Linocolns would you say this coin will show? I ask, because this is the first like it I have found out of the 15-17,000 Lincolns I have searched.. I know thats a relatively "Small Number" in comparison to the massive amount of Lincolns in circulation.! luck of the draw could easily come into play here.. However, I have found many of the "commen errors" 10 fold before finding a single coin of this type. I included some more pics beside a normal '97 for comparison.. The bottom pic is edited to show the obv & rev of the '98 side by side.. FWIW, both the OBV & REV was scanned @ 600 DBI with no further adjustments made to visual effects. Thanks,Cherry Picker.
