Hi everyone, I'm new in the Coin World and I need help!
Found a 1990 D Penny with some erros (I believe) including a error that I've have not found
any report.
-Letter "A" on Lincoln's face-
I'll attach some images from everything.
Please tell me what you guys think about this coin errors and condition.
I really appreciate the help and attention of everyone one here!

Welcome. I'm not seeing any errors, but the coin was struck from a very worn die that was beginning to sink causing the raised areas around the perimeter. I don't see what you are calling a letter A on Lincoln, can you show a closeup of that?

I see the A on full obverse picture. It's below the eye on the cheek.
Very interesting.

Yes, the Ridge Ring is a Die Deterioration issue. Not seeing a distinct A.

A closer-in, sharp photo would help. Beware Pareidolia.

with the above.
Seeing a Ridge Ring forming is one of your first indications that the coin was struck with a worn out die.

Hi everyone! I really appreciate all attention.
I'm attaching more images from the "A" letter that I see .
On the last picture I'll put a regular penny right next. This may help.
I'm very thankful for all the support!

to the CCF The A could be just zinc dust under the plating.

I agree with Cujohn, looks like a plating issue in that area.

HI everyone! I'm very thankful for the help ! The thing is really new for me so your help is more than welcome.I'll keep this coin with me, I can't return to circulation. Initial of my name is the letter "A" so for me is pretty cool #128526;

See you
