1920 Lincoln Penny Facial Distortion Lamination Error - 1920 Unique Lincoln Penny Lamination Error

This listing is for the 1920 Lincoln Penny Facial Distortion Lamination Error Obverse Only. This type of error occurs when foreign bodies or impurities are trapped inside the metal that is melted and transformed into ingots for the production of new planchets. These foreign bodies will then be part of the planchets and subsequently of the coins produced with those planchets. In the production of the planchets, if foreign bodies were present in the metal, they would tend to peel off. These metal losses can occur before or after minting due to the presence of contaminants in the alloy. This phenomenon can also occur when the planchets are composed of several layers. This error has distorted a majority of Lincolns face, with a large line running down his lower face, neck and upper body.  Interesting Find!!!
