Bella57 Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 06/14/2016 09:19 am Hello I'm new to this forum. In fact I'm new to coin collecting. I am particularly interested in error coins, I guess it's the perfectionist in me. I never want to pass off a coin that has been counterfeited and am interested in selling on ebay. I have this unusual looking 1991 D penny that has a large second number nine and an indented D, it also has two indents on the collar beneath the bust. Is this a real error. I appreciate any input. * Image embedded by the staff * Report this Post to the Staff

UltraRant Pillar of the Community Norway 1358 Posts	Posted 06/14/2016 09:35 am Hello and To me the coin looks a bit beaten up and I get the impression that someone had some fun with a nail and a hammer or so to get to this 9 and D. I don't think that this is a 'genuine' error, as in made by the Denver mint. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/14/2016 11:53 am Looks like the plating was split and the zinc got air to it and is now breaking down. Looks like the same event happened to the mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
