two error lincoln cents I own.

The ONLY two error cetns I own. One is a 1989 off center (5 or 6 percent, maybe more). And what looks to be a clash die 1998 cent.

    Yup, definitely a clash. Called a "jailhouse die clash" by collectors because the columns of the memorial, when strongly clashed, appear to form bars around Lincoln. Cool!

    Geez, I though old John Wilkes B. was behind Lincoln at Ford's theater for a moment.

    wow, that is so faint you hardly notice.
    good eye.

    wait a minute.....thats a type 2 reverse Lincoln.
    that in itself makes it a valuable coin.

    better treat it nice and dont rub it or clean it.
    just holder it best you can...and not in a soft flip...holds moisture...bad for long term storage.
