Choice Red and Brown
Foldover Strike Lincoln Cent

Undated Lincoln Memorial Cent--Foldover Strike--MS64 Red and Brown NGC. Post-1982 copper-plated zinc composition. A cent planchet was aligned vertically relative to the dies at the time of strike. The dies promptly folded the coin in half and struck the semi-circle portion, with a broad seam missed by the dies. The net effect is a foldover planchet struck widely off center toward 2 o'clock. Much brick-red is present, along with silver-gray from the zinc interior.
