This cent looks odd???

[dragonsoldier]

I came across this in my pocket change and thought the" In God we trust" looked very odd. I'm am by no means a coin expert. Could just be me, but it also looks like a crack along the left side. SOMEONE school me please LOL Sorry for the upside down pic when I attached it somehow, it rotated the image.

That thing does look weird. If anyone knows.... it'll be somebody here.

Die fatigue. I got schooled here with a similar cent!

Unusual. Thanks for sharing.

Yepper it's die fatigue.

Its probably because he is hanging upside down. I'd be fatigued too

 

[dragonsoldier]

Thanks to all for the comments! Especially the comment about the fatigue, It's Friday and a little humor goes a long ways!

I agree that Die Fatigue was likely involved! However, the coin exhibits the effects of a Partial Collar Strike, so I believe both were involved.

I wouldn't gander it being that valuable. Any ideas? Again I'm no coin expert.

Not valuable in the least.

 

[kingskid1611]

just keep it for a conversation piece.

As already been stated, it has no real value at all other than Face Value! I have literally had thousands of similar Lincoln Cents and they went back into circulation.
