ERROR ERROR! MY 10 year old daughter found this LINCOLN ERROR!!

saintguru

She was just looking at change and came downstairs and was all excited...look at this!

I louped it and I must say it's definately an extremely misstruck coin with no letttering on the obverse periphery. It clearly has a rim (a wire rim in Saint-talk) and has not been tampereed with. Now I don't know if this a common error or something special? It's circulated...I have no idea what it would grade...EF??

I welcome all comments. If it's worth anything I'll sell it for her. Maybe she gets an ice cream cone and maybe she gets a year's tuition at college.

Cool! Filled die, not particularly rare. Grade it "Wells Fargo 66."

Damn...you know how to make me laugh!

Looks like a counting machine mechanical error to me probably done after the mint! I have lightened the coins two images and attached them. The reverse might be the wide AM variety though.

A counting machine error? Nooooo.

Those pics make the coin look transparent.

It is an upper AU piece. All the legends were filled with grease on the die so they don't show up on the planchet. That is a pretty extreme example of a filled die though.

What would you guess the value? .02? More?

Hey....you think SHE thinks so? Ain't such a thing as PRICELESS to a kid!

She wants a price!!

Whats with the L and N on the reverse steps...this is more than a filled die!

It looks like the letters in IBERTY are doubled!!!! Are the L and N on the Reverse Steps incused?

Wide A M....

This Lincoln was double struck. Evidence the reverse Montecello doubling and railroading on the rim. There might be more but I can't tell with the laptop lcd.

Give her $20 dollars and keep it. Give it back to her when she graduates. Maybe a collector will be born.

It's good to see that there is at least one keen-eyed collector at your house.
