Extremely Rare Lincoln Cent
With Edge Strike And Foldover Strike

This extremely rare mint error combination has an edge strike at 4 o'clock and also an off-center foldover strike.

The planchet entered the collar vertically and received an edge strike. It continued to fold as the hammer die traveled downwards. It then slid off the edge and became an off-center foldover.

Foldover Strikes are featured in
my NLG Award winning book,
World's Greatest Mint Errors.
