195? Lincoln Cent

#1 Unread post by $coinvalue »

Would like your opinion as to what caused this 195? Lincoln Cent.

Please don't ask me to put up another picture because you're lucky to get this one.

I just don't have the proper equipment to take pictures of coins. There is always a shadow, too much light, not enough light, too unsteady.

Maybe some of you can give me pointers about photography of coins and the equipment to use.

This is going to be either struck through greased filled die or accidentally polished weak on the die, then struck weakly on the coin and then wore off. It is common, some 1943 cents have weak or missing 4's and they really haven't caught on as varieties although technically they are.
