[Error Coin Information Exchange] Re: Weekend gamble

From: http://coins.listarc.com. See the original article at http://coins.listarc.com/error-coin-information-exchange-re-weekend-gamble.htm.

Bingo! It was an edge strike with a small foldover flap. One edge
shows Lincoln’s face and the other the smeared base of the Memorial.
It appears a single strike produced this error. The coin must’ve
slipped and landed squarely between the dies for the finish of the
downstroke. The middle of the coin shows stress fissures from a bend
that was flattened out by the completion of the downstroke.
