Lincoln Variety Experts - Extra Beard? . . . Help!!

jimmymac

came across this 2000 Lincoln cent - see pic - has what seems like extra hair (tenticles) hanging off the side of Lincoln's beard - below the ear - what could this be and has anyone else come across this anomaly? - whatever it is, it's very interesting!!

That's interesting. Are they raised like they look in the pics? Certainly looks like it was touched up or something. Not only below the ear, but I see what looks like a few others located throughout the beard...

on nov27th i posted this and coin in hand...those extra beards are raised and look to be not "die clash" either...just all about if one of the big error people sign off on it or not...who knows as i tucked mine away and am waiting myself to see if this goes anywhere or not.

I have coin in hand also and its not a touched up pic - Im also waiting to see if this goes anywhere - in nothing else, its a interesting coin that would grab attention at shows ect - hey, love the Triumph - I own a 70 Triumph GT6 - a true British sportscar - can rev to 5000 in all gears - if you hear anything about the extra beard lincoln - please post and let us know - thanks!!

it takes someone sending one off to coneca for appraisal...on the trumpet it's a lil pet project...a rigid framed springer 650 bonny.myself was raised around mini coopers and morris's noting my first car was a 61 morris minor and always thought those woody's rocked and those early mini's could be shaved down to 950lbs with 350 horse's. i had even heard one was on a track against a cobra and the mini won as it didn't have to back off for corners...;-)
