BJGamer Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Hello everybody! My friend got this coin and can't find any records for a coin like this. It looks like a 1929 coin with a six over the nine. Help? Value? What is the error? GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Here are 1926 and 1929 cents for comparison to yours. What do you think about "6 over 9?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) There is no such thing as a 1929 struck over 1926 Lincoln cent which explains why you cannot find any information on it. Your friend has a coin that was damaged, it received a hit in the area of the numeral 6 and some metal was displaced which coincidentally looks slightly similar to a tail of a 9. Just simple PMD, there are no documented different date overstrikes for the Lincoln series. Edited March 2, 2022 by Coinbuf Oldhoopster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Based on the larger images on my PC, I suspect a damaged 1926. The tail of the 2nd "9" is not at the correct angle. Mechanically, the only way an overdate could occur in the 1920 was by a working die being impressed with hubs from two different years. This happened in 1909/8 DE, 1918/7 nickels and quarters, 1942/1 dimes (P and D mints). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct but to me it looks like a 9 that has suffered a hit pushing metal to make it look like the tail of a 6. zadok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
