I found this in a coin roll, and trust me that is one zincoln I'm happy to find!

In case you don't know, this error is referred to as a "cud", it's when part of the die used to strike the coin chips off.

Funny thing is, the die that struck my coin also struck a bunch of other, making many more example out there. I recently saw another example sell for $110 on Ebay.

Anyways, Thanks for Looking

I love the error coins. Especially since you can get a nice little collection relatively inexpensively.
 
It looks as if Lincoln's brain grew three sizes that day.
 
Yet again, i learned something new here. Very interesting.:thumbsup:
 
Neat little find. And ya know what? THAT is the ONLY way that coin will be worth even one red cent! :)
 
Great find! Better sell it quick! Zincs only have about a 5 year shelf life..lol
 
Wow! Even when you find the bad, it's good! Nice!
