jeff 31 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 9:56 pm Hello everyone, First post here - I've read many posts lately and this forum is both enjoyable and informative. I found this recently while roll searching and need some info on what I have here, if anything. I'm a real amateur when it comes to errors and varieties, and I couldn't find this listed in the few sources I checked. Can anyone give me an idea what this is? The bright pics were with flash, the other without. Thanks in advance for your responses...Jeff. Report this Post to the Staff

unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 10:25 pm Could use a clearer pic of the closeup shot of the mint mark. It is likely just a gas bubble under the copper plating (very common in 80s era cents) but might be a repunched mintmark. Would need a clearer image with less flash to wash out the details. I checked here... http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...pe=mm&page=0 But nothing seemed to match Check out the main forum for the photography section, some great coin imaging tips there.
