| @John1 I am using the Samsung Note 10 with an app called Microscope and Magnifier. I can't getva decent zoom while still in focus when using the phones camera alone, the app helps keep focus while being able to zoom up to roughly x10. And yes sometimes I have to mess with the lighting a little in order to remain focus while still zoomed in. Once I get the extra money I've been looking into a scope for coins specifically. Just not sure what are good brands while remaining affordable. Sorry about my ignorance as I'm am learning. Just a novice here but I am trying to learn even if its slowly. Seems once I learn on thing and feel comfortable about my knowledge then a screwball seems to get tossed into the mix just to make me realize that I still don't know jack about coins and how to read them. |

I have this 1982 Lincoln Penny with something going on with the location of the mint mark, I am wondering about the "dimple" in that location. Also would this be considered a small date as laying beside another 1982, it definitely appears to be smaller. If other pictures are ever needed to come to any conclusion about any of my posted coins I am more than welcome to snap a few more for anyone inquiring. Also the value would be nice to have a rough idea anyhow. Once again thank you in advance for helping this novice figure out some coin reading, I so very much appreciate it. By the way my messenger is usually always free for anyone wanting to casually chat about our money collections amongst whatever else we collect.

| @Cujohn. I appreciate the response, also would this be a coin that you personally would send to have graded? This happens to be a very good friend's coin, yet he is convinced he really has something with this coin while I have been trying my hardest to convince him otherwise. Simply for the fact that other than how "shiny" and how minimal scratched up it is, that there hasn't been anything else to show any value to this. Care to give any advice regarding such topics? |

Can anyone fill me in and give me a little knowledge about the coloration on this 2006 Penny? Also how about some of the markings, mainly the ones that make ol Lincoln appear to be coughing on the obverse, and a letter "Z" above the (N) of "ONE" on the reverse side? Am I just looking to hard for things that aren't there? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Found this 1969 D Lincoln Penny, which on the obverse side has a circular imprint dead center. Any ideas of the cause? I'm not convinced this would be a printing error or I'm not experienced enough to know. I've been slowly learning about the types of errors but failing to really learn without physically being able to hold it in my hands and to be able to see it personally so I can compare and take personal notes for myself. Also on the reverse side has maybe a potential floating roof? Can anyone give this beginner some quick lessons and understandings. Lol. Appreciate anyone who is able to take the time to give me a hand. Really appreciate it and I hope your day is blessed

| @Dearborn, I was just tossing some humor in there, hence the damaged Memorial. Too me it appears to just have been shaken up. Hence that's why I mentioned the earthquake. I am 3 hours from Washington D.C. and I must say that the last one they did have, back in 2012 or 2013, somewhere around there. Alot of folks around this area was able to feel the trembles despite being hours away from the fractual zone. |

| That makes complete sense, yet I couldn't figure out something so logical. Really appreciate the help. Truly opening my eyes to maybe see the coin for what it is and stop making an attempt at looking into them deeper than what they are showing me in the first place. You guys are awesome. |

| @Spence, I kinda thought the same thing but having a second opinion truly helps. I've been learning as I go, but I am very new to the hobby yet. Would you mind taking a look at a few other penny's that I recently came across? If not I appreciate the info that you could provide. |

Was going thru some of my penny collection this evening and I had came across this beauty. It's a 1970 Lincoln Penny, while the obverse side looks to have normal wear and tear for the age of the Penny, flip it to the reverse side and the poor Lincoln Memorial looks as if it's been hit by an earthquake. What's yall thoughts on the cause behind this occurrence? Has anyone seen anything similar? Would this be something considered as rare or not worth the time to look at it in that perspective? Thanks for taking the time and happy New Year's everyone. Hope it was filled with lots of blessings and so many more made memories.

| I use a pair of soft white gloves when handling any of my coins no matter what condition they are in. I figured it is good practice just to go ahead and handle them all as if they are all MS-70 grade. Better safe than sorry. Does anyone have any advice on the type of cloth gloves or should they be latex, non latex? Micro-fiber, or cotton? The gloves I have now are a soft cotton mix of polyester fabric. Currently haven't seen any marks left after handling the coins. Although I have only touched coins in this condition on the sides as to not scar the obverse or reverse sides |
