Lincoln Cent Mint Error – 80+% Off-Center, Brown (BN), Raw in Quantum Holder

Notable Facts:

• Struck 80% off-center, this Lincoln cent reveals only a small portion of the original design, with the rest of the planchet left unstruck.

• The coin has a Brown (BN) surface, typical of circulated copper coins, adding to its authenticity and natural appearance.

Description:

This dramatic 80% off-center Lincoln cent error is a striking example of extreme misalignment during the minting process. Only a narrow sliver of the original design remains visible—likely part of Lincoln’s profile—while the majority of the planchet remains blank. Its Brown (BN) toning reflects natural aging and gives the coin an earthy, classic copper appearance.

Though uncertified, this raw example is housed in a protective Quantum square holder, ideal for presentation and storage. Such severe off-center errors are highly collectible, especially when paired with clean surfaces and natural tone. A fantastic piece for collectors focused on major U.S. Mint errors.
