Found this lincoln error today. Help id'ing it

Postby Copper Member » Wed Dec 29, 2010 5:51 pm

I found this Lincoln in my sorting today. the reverse is fine, but the obverse has the reverse memorial and lettering on it. I know the pic isn't the greatest. I was wondering what it is called, how they get made and the general price range that they sell in. You can post here,pm me or email me .

If it was a die clash, the obverse image would be exactly aligned with the reverse image.

Also the reverse image would be pushed out on the obverse.

Looks like someone laid one cent over another and hit it with a hammer.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

That's a homemade error, not factory.

Some idiot will buy it though.

I wouldn't want to sell it if it wasn't real tho. And i'm sure that some idiot would as I thought it was real. Oh well, thanks guys for the bad news.
