1999 Lincoln Cent Extremely Rare Full "Floating Roof" With "Close AM" In No Book

Description: This 1999 Lincoln Cent penny features: "Close AM" with extremely rare variety. 1999 was not known for the illusive "Floating Roof" error like the 1969 and 1970 coins which makes this one very special. Authenticated by Republic Coin Auburn, Maine 2024. 30 years later it mysteriously reappeared, then another 24 years go by and itwas only then discovered when it was pulled from circulation in 2023!So 54 years later we have this anomaly. With faint doubling at the date, the coin is a FULL "Floating Roof" example and is the only one available on Ebay at this time of this quality. None have been bought or sold in recent times that can be found. Please see obverse for interesting minting of Lincolns face, nose and head areas.Explain this one to me if you can? Good luck trying to pull one of these! Though the "Floating Roof" variation/error is not technically accepted as a true error by grading companies, they are gaining strength throughout the hobby to be officially recognized very soon. Then watch this kind of exciting variety take off to the moon in value. Afterall, they polished off the roof supports on the die at the factory, making it a "Mint Error" and can't simply dismiss it in the end.The coin remains as one of very few, if none in existence. Very rare year with an interesting story to tell about this one. Ships via USPS Priority Certified Signature required, free of charge with tracking number.
