1916 - Die Adjustment Strike.
From what I've gathered, these are some of the rarest mint errors....especially on old coins. This is the third wheat cent die adjustment strike I could find online.... and is by far the oldest.
Going out to PCGS soon!
Thought you guys would like to see.

I strongly disagree.
Grade and value opinion?
Post Mint Damage.... No grade, no value beyond one cent...Cheers, RickO
What makes you think it’s a die adjustment strike?
Not an error but still cool you found a 102 year old coin in circulation.
Liberty is doubled, too!
I seriously doubt PCGS will call that a die adjustment strike. It is a designation almost impossible to prove.
Even if the coin's state is believed to be a striking error -- and I don't think that's the case here, there are many other reasons a coin can have a weak strike (equipment malfunctions). Trial strikes are the least likely.
But please come back and tell us what PCGS said.

Looks like it may have been caught in an old washer/dryer....
Good luck!!
Value is somewhere between one cent and ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!!
My vote goes to one cent.
washing machine coin for sure, PMD
OP - Please explain how a "die adjustment strike" occurs. Members will probably appreciate your attribution and react with greater confidence if they are sure you understand the technology and causes behind your claim.
That coin started life fully struck and then got worn down by whatever means.
The market is kinda FLAT for the PMD errors.................tee hee

OK roomies............calm down. Feel the Love.

There is definitely an error here, BUT I'm not so sure it's the coin.

I got a hall pass from a teacher back in high school that he didn't put a time or date on.
I spent the rest of my high school time wandering the halls all day.
I'm lucky I graduated.

Thank God we still have the ignore button
I wish you well on your submission.
PLEASE, post the results on this thread so that we can all learn.

Good low-ball candidate.
For fifty dollars you could feed a hungry coin dealer. PM for PayPal address. You'll also need to add 3% to cover the fees. Thanks.
Best of luck with the grading.
It could be a weakly struck wheatie. The problem is that it’s also very worn. Generally to be reasonably confident of a weak strike you’ll need a lusterous unc to show lack of detail in the absence of actual wear. This one will not be designated as an error by a tpg for that reason, I think.
I found this error while hunting today. Lincoln has totally turned to look me in the eyes!

I would think that a Die Adjustment Strike coin would still have a rim.
With this coin the rim is almost all worn away.
you are trying to reason with a garden gnome - troll variety
Show and tell? HMMM........I'm just trying to post something that might help. I make no claims or opinions on the OP's coin.
Time to move on to better things.
Pete
Silly me. It works with my cat.
I think the rim on a trial strike is supposed to be weak or missing entirely.
Lance.
It’s your money. Send it away.
...I don't (necessarily ) think it's money thrown away, to send in a coin.
But why ? I cud not tell the guy who sent me this photo what he shud do. It's your money. You already got my two bits .
Send it in.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Definitely not a die adjustment strike. Very well worn mixed in with some post mint damage. Feel free to disagree.
Here is one that rec a strike error on.
Hoard the keys.
@cherrypickerrrrr I think you should save your $60 plus shipping to PCGS and back. It is not an error like many before me have mentioned. It is really just a seriously worn Lincoln cent that will probably grade Fair-2. I think you should weigh the sucker before you send it in, my bet is that it is under weight from what a copper Lincoln cent is supposed to be. If it was a die adjustment strike it would be 3.11 grams, which is the correct weight.
Oh YES!!!............by all means do. The suspense is gripping me.
Pete
Not a die adjustment but someone needs an attitude adjustment.
You should weigh it (as previously recommended) AND measure the diameter. I think it was pressed/flattened at one time after it left the mint. Notice the distance from the IGWT to the edge and compare that to a standard early cent. I think the other devices are spaced too far away from the rim as well. Anything larger than 19mm, would indicate PMD. These would be quick and easy checks to do before claiming you have a rare error, or spend money to have it authenticated.
