Errors
1952-D 1C Lincoln Cent -- Double Struck and Rotated in Collar, Small Indent Reverse -- MS63 Brown PCGS. The first strike was normal, but the coin failed to eject. Instead, it rotated approximately 30 degrees counter-clockwise, and was struck a second time. For the second strike, a planchet (not included) was fed in, between the reverse die and the reverse of the present coin, but it was far off center and overlapped only about 3% of the reverse, near 9 o'clock. Due to the rotated double strike, the legends are jumbled, most prominently on the central reverse. The mint error also results in a strange appearance of Lincoln's portrait. Glimpses of orange-red emerge from minimally marked olive-brown surfaces.
