corkykile Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Now that is a really nice Lincoln error. Congrats! Do I see doubling on some of the letters? Does this coin have a special classification number? Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 the doubling you see is prob just from the distortion from striking over a struck coin. there isnt really any number for the coin... it basically wasn't ejected from the striking chamber and another planchet was not fed in... then struck again.

moneydog Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I agree Matt but that sure is an odd looking coin I don't think I have ever seen one like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I think the kind of cool thing about it, is that it seems to have circulated a bit, even with as dramatic an error as this. Also it shows a lot of the original strike, which is unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwing Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 That is very unusual. I bet it cost you a pretty penny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syzygy Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Fantastic coin. You have it oriented with the first strike - right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 it is oriented on the second strike... the first strike is the weaker of the 2 as it would have been smashed by the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh ok, I see it more clearly now. The 'Lib' of the first strike got nailed completely by the second. It's surprising that the second strike date is so flat. Really cool coin - you going to hang on to it? heheheh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
