1990 Lincoln Cent Pair – 50% Off-Center Mint Error + Uncirculated – Same Bag – Proceeds Support Airman Fundraiser
Short Story Snippet:
In 1990, while working in a high-volume bank vault, I opened a sealed mint bag of Lincoln cents. Two coins stood out — one a perfect uncirculated strike, the other a dramatic 50% off-center mint error. I kept them together for over three decades. Now, they’re being offered to help raise funds in support of an Airman and his family.
