1993 Lincoln Error ***UPDATED WITH PICTURE********

[Groovedymond]

Hi Guys,

Just looking through my pocket change and noticed my 1993 lincoln cent has an off center strike on the front. You can clearly see the rim is different. The rim on the right side is about 1.5mm, versus the left side which is non-existant. Just curious... is it worth more than a penny with that error? Common error.. or known error for this year?

I'll try to post a pic later.

**UPDATE*** I've uploaded a Picture. As you can see, the right side of the coin is obviously thicker than the left. Is it true that the deformity needs to be 60% or better to be worthy at all??

I have several from different years so I think its common.
Nice find anyway.

Unless 20 to 60% of the design is missing, it's not worth anything special. Sorry for the downer!!

It is a slightly misaligned die, fairly common. Good eye though. HH

Great eye. Perhaps the next one will be the winner for you.
