Atarian: Without seeing any pics kinda hard to say. It sounds like one possibility it could be a mis-aligned die (MAD). These can somtimes show double rims. Can you get some pics up?
i was thinking it was post us mint but i cant see that being the case. the other side looks normal. but this is much differnt than any other lincoln cent of that year or any year. what do you think .
ill get my cam back from my ex gf this week cause shes using it for ebay stuff. so ill get it back and get some pics up. but what do you think i have here

it looks like
lincoln a little bit of the field then 1959 then right after a rim intentation then very little piece of field and then another intentation for a rim and then like the regualr outer rim. and honestly the L and the "in god we trust " is smushed so its chubby letters barely can read the WE cause its so smushed.
<< <i>my scanner is not giving me clear pics but i can describe it rather well. the outer rim looks like a regular coin. the second inner rim goes from the end of lincolns bust ( where the VDB is ( and its visible the VDB) ) it goes around barely missing the 9 in "1959" all the way the whole IN GOD WE TRUST is shrunken down so its like a micro "in god we trust" . keeps on going the L in liberty looks more like IIBERTY casue the L is pushed in the bottom _ isnt visible . then back around to lincolns bust. .

Atarian: Could possibly be a MAD. This is where the obv. & rev. working dies or not properly aligned with each other. A MAD will affect one side of the coin and not the other side. For instance -- the obverse of the coin could look like it's a little off-center and the reverse will not show anything -- perfectly on-center. However, without pics to help us see what's going on -- it could be post mint too. At this juncture I would only be shooting in the dark. When you get pics up -- we'll be able to go from there.
I believe Atarian's coin is altered, however.
LincolnsRule, nice find!!
