    1973 Lincoln odd obverse. Error?

    Came across this went sorting some Lincoln's, not sure what to make of it. The obverse seems to have some sort of lamination error. About a third of the rim has an extra lip and the reverse looks perfectly fine. FYI, the obverse pictures may seem out of focus but this is just the way the coin appears. Thanks in advance.

    That is a very late stage struck-thru-capped-die error.

    Very nice!

      Yes, a generic capped die strike in combination with a partial collar error.

        Thanks again Jim!

            I sent you 3 visitor messages (continuous) because only 1000 characters are allowed per message-moderated). If you don't get them, let me know. I don't see where I can PM you on this forum.
