lincoln error

MedalCollector

The label isn't specific enough......

It was struck once through the detached bottom of a late-stage die cap that shifted south before the strike. Judging from the multiple impressions of LIBERTY, the cap bottom was subjected to numerous shift-and-strike events before the final strike that generated this coin.

Fun looking coin.

I have one similar to that with a sharp widely separated double date, liberty, and a lincoln very cool looking coin.

To tired to look for a photo of it.

Mike nailed it.

It is what it is and it is a cool error.

Mornin' -

As mentioned above, Mike D.
got it right - a Detached bottom
layer from a Die Cap, etc.........

It's different from a 'sandwhich'
job in that the incused letters
read correct, not backward, if
it were 'pressed'......

Mike's description, as usual, is
detailed and right-on.............
