Newb2020 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I have a 1982 zinc penny that has two foreheads on Lincoln's face and you can see two eyes. I want to grade this coin as, it should get a good price for condition and the type it is. I am concerned they will say I faked this but, looking at the image, you can see the surface coating is still intact. I have been holding on to this for a long time wondering should I spend the money. GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenntucky Mike Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 It's interesting as it somewhat follows the contours of the design but I think PMD or struck through. In either case I wouldn't send it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Welcome to the NGC Forum It can only be one of two things, an error or damage. The only way I can think that it would be an error is with a Struck Through. If it was damage, there would be some sign of displaced metal. Interested to see what others have to say but I don't think it would be worth spending the money to get certified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsshog40 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I have to agree that it may be some sort of pmd. I would think that the hair and rest of the face would be doubled also if struck like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P M Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 It looks like something curved forced the metal back into his face his check bone and forehead looks extra high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldFinger1969 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 As an aside...just wanted to say that it appears that the activity in the Newbie Coin section has increased a TON in the last few weeks. Good to see...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coinbuf Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Looks like PMD, I cannot think of any possible way that could happen in the minting process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will eventually grade this just for my own interest and I will post the results. Thanks to all. Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
