Description
Lincoln Memorial Cent, MS64+
Struck on a 2.8-Gram Screw
Undated Lincoln Memorial Cent -- Struck on a 2.8 gram Screw --
MS64+ PCGS. A metal screw, approximately 30 mm in length, was
struck between Lincoln Memorial cent dies to create the present
dramatic mint error. The screw appears to have a steel alloy, but
portions of the piece struck by the reverse die have a copper-red
color, perhaps from traces of copper in the die chamber that
adhered to the screw during the strike. The threads of the screw
are mostly flattened on the obverse side, which displays LIBERTY
and IN GOD WE TRU. Lincoln's head is present except for his jaw,
mouth, and nosetip. On the reverse, the screw threads are partial.
Flat areas show ONE CEN and the bottom left portion of the Lincoln
Memorial. A memorable minting mishap.Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 661903)
