Description
Surprising Undated Lincoln Memorial Cent Fragment
Half a Grain, No Evidence of Wear
Undated Lincoln Memorial Cent--Struck on a 0.5 Grain
Fragment--MS60 Brown PCGS. The holder says ".5GM," indicating
half a gram, but considering how little metal is present (far from
one-fifth or one-sixth of an entire coin, as dictated by half a
gram versus the weight of a Lincoln cent), half a grain seems more
likely. The front of this error offers few clues to what it is, but
the back has parts of the letters in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
enough to identify it as the top of the reverse of a Lincoln
Memorial cent. With this information, the obverse can be seen in a
new light, as the seemingly random lines there become the folds in
Lincoln's jacket.
