Description
1944 Lincoln Cent, AU50
Obverse Mirror Brockage
1944 1C Lincoln Cent -- Obverse Mirror Brockage -- AU50
CACG. The story of the present lot begins with the coin struck
immediately before it. That coin stuck to the reverse die, and
served as a surrogate die to a newly fed planchet. This planchet
(to become the present coin) was struck between the obverse die and
the obverse of the previously struck coin. This lightly circulated
chocolate-brown World War II cent has a normal obverse and an
incused and reversed reverse. The strike is soft on the reverse
periphery, since the obverse die was much harder than the reverse
die cap, or previously struck cent. This importance of this
brockage was recognized by the Greysheet's CAC Rare Coin Market
Report, which placed the coin on the cover of the May-June-July
2024 issue.
