Lincoln Cent Errors / Mistrikes

Included in this auction are 3 different errors. Each is represented by 3 different dates. There are 9 coins total. The 3 photos of the 3 errors are examples and not the actual coins. The actual coins will have the exact type of error but it is too hard to get decent photos of each coin. But if you kook at the photos and expand then you can see the error you will receive.:

1) The BIE mint error
2) The ‘filled letter’ error – the bottom of B in liberty
3) The ‘extra wheat’ error

Mint errors are caused by deterioration in the die after many coins are struck or by a malfunction in the machinery. Many of these ‘oddities’ are quite common. You can research coin errors on the internet. If you check eBay you will see many for sale. The most famous errors include the 1955 ‘double die’ and the copper 1943 cent. If you collect Lincoln Cents you should have a few examples represented in your collection. Here is your chance to get some examples of the more common errors caused by problems such as die cracks, off center punches, and weak strikes. I collected quite a few of these and I have recently decided to reduce the size of my collection.

The BIE mint error – Liberty appears to be misspelled because of a die break between the letters BE

The ‘filled letter’ error – The lower part of the ‘B’ in Liberty is filled in due to a die crack

The ‘extra wheat’ error – extra appendages appear in wheat stalks due to cracking in the reverse die

Please examine the photos carefully before bidding
