Lincoln Errors?!?

Can anyone identify these lincoln errors?

This is something next to the mint mark.

There are 2 triangle areas in the column next to Lincoln.

This looks alot more cool in hand! There appears to be a piece of the "L" in "Liberty" that is seperated from the rest of the "L".

This one has an extra line in his lips! The photos don't show it very well.

This is hard to see from the photos but it is some kind of doubling of "In God We Trust". Mechanical?!? It goes across all the letters. I just didn't bother to photograph all of them.

This is a 1955 lincoln poormans?!? I have never seen one that has doubling above the "55" in the date. I have quite a few but they all are doubled to the right of the last "5". I found this in my pocket change.

  • Who is "coppercoins" and how do I contact him? I love Lincoln errors. I cherrypick through about a hundred Lincolns a night.

    Thanks for the photo compliment!

    On the 1987-D cent, the blob to the right of the mintmark
    is a die-chip, as I recall....it was "discovered" as such
    right around 87/88 when they hit circulation......

    i have seen some of the d mint `zincolns` where it looks like the metal
    is pulled away some from along the right edge of the d.
    like it tore open a very visible gap in the clad layer.

    others are machine damage doubling.
  • Yep, what Mozeppa said.

    The blob next to the mintmark is not a die chip. Is a blister caused by subsurface corrosion beneath the copper plating.
