A FEW NEW MULTI-ERRORS JUST BACK FROM TODD......

Here are a few multi-error Lincoln cents I just got back from being photographed from Todd. I'm curious if anyone can see what NGC states as "damage" on the first one. I know many of you aren't crazy about the edgeview holders, but I really like them, especially on clipped errors. And on this triple clip, it's an interesting coincidence that the NGC prongs are located in the same position as the clips.

    The Indent area of that first coin has
    been 'bent', probably caught in a counting
    or rolling machine.

    See the dark 'zinc' line running up and down on
    both sides of that indented area - that's what
    I'm talking about.

    That's why NGC called it damaged - it's an error,
    but it's also damaged after it was struck.

    I think Fred is exactly right and the coin was bent and straightened. I saw the same thing but didn't post it because I couldn't see the reverse well enough to be sure.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Discounting what Fred says.....(what does he know anyway)....I think the first coin was bent at some point after being struck image
