WhoDo Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) On reverse, the E in UNITED, error or not? Then on the front Lincoln's ear seems deep but I'm not sure if it's even a worthy issue about his ear. Much more concerned with the E on back. Thank you all who respond Edited February 16, 2020 by WhoDo
WhoDo Posted February 16, 2020 Author Posted February 16, 2020 Also forgot to mention, on the front the E in WE isn't lined up with the other letters of "IN GOD WE TRUST". Is this something to notice or am I just a little to hopefull?
kbbpll Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 The E in United just took a hit during circulation, as did Lincoln's ear. The E in WE seems to be just the way they all are. I never noticed it before myself, but here's the example coin from NGC price guide, same E.
Greenstang Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 I agree, not an error. Anytime you have dings, gouges, scratches, distorted letters etc., they are nearly always damage. It is only an error if it happens during the striking of the coin. Anything after that is considered damage.
