1985 Mated pair of lincolns

[CCC]

Don't drop them Joe. You would be back to a 1/2 cent.....I think!

This mated set will slide apart, however the 1 piece has two dates showing,that is the reason I purchased the coin(s) so I could study them.

I have never seen a bonded pair where they would separate and then could be placed back together again.

I don't know Joe....There's a lot of 'Mating' and 'Bonding' going on with your coins. I think it's definitely time for them to get a room

This is proably one of my favorite Lincoln Errors.

This is a 1985 Dual Dated Mated Pair. The coins weigh 5.0 Grams.

This type of error is not very common as they do not usually escape from the mint and when they do come up for sale there is alot of heavy bidding. Prices can escalate quite dramatically at an auction for any mated pair.

This coin can also be found up to multiples being bonded together. In the Error Encyclopedia by Margolis & Weinberg there is mention of a 100 such cents stuck together, being used as a paper weight by a Mint official.

I do not want to ever have this coin encapsulated (Proably to deep)as it makes an interesting study piece. So enjoy!!!!!

I want to take the opportunity to say "THANK YOU" to Brad, Staff and all of the fine participants of this Forum at LCR. If it weren't for you and your posts and comments I would have nothing to say.

And Most of all "Thank You" for letting me share my Collection with you.

Makes me think of that famous line from Wayne's World the Movie
" We're not worthy, We're not worthy" that is one beautiful coin Joe
Someday I'd love it if you'ld PM me with how much that set you back.
Whenever I ask dealers what errors are worth it's normally the same answer, Whatever the market will bear.

Since you are able to separate the coins, they're not a bonded pair. They're a mated pair. Very nice.

First chance I've had to take a peek at this thread and your coin Joe. Always impressive and this one is with no exception. A beauty and an extremely interesting error. Thanks for sharing these with us.
