1971 D Penny With Blob On Lincolns Hair , Error?

@hrl, first welcome to CCF. Second, that location is a common place for the die to crack a bit and so my first thought was that. However, the color of this blob should be copper (like the rest of the coin). Perhaps it is a bit of solder that was dropped on to this coin. A close-up of this area might help, although please orient the camera to be straight at the coin for that pic. Thx.

My pictures are not great but this is the best picture I have. I'm almost sure it is made with the coin and not after the fact. The picture is hard to give the best example of it. I tried for over an hour with multiple angles and still no great picture. I wa a just hoping maybe someone had come across this before and would know what it was. It could be copper and not silver colored but its hard to tell

Nothing rare though. Looks like a small blob from the minting.

Most likely, but a sharper close-up would help.



to the CCF!

When tacking pictures of coins do not hold them. I have found many soft cloths that work for putting them on. Prop the coin up on a fold of the cloth and then take a picture. Take many pictures of both side. Then go to your phone edit for pictures I have both types of phone they have them. Fix what needs fixing Crop the pictures. Get rid of the rest post the best you have. It takes time to learn how to do this but the results are worth it.

Thank you to everyone for the input. I will enjoy the discussions and look forward to learning more. Coins have become my obsession. Hopefully its a common thing among those who are in the beginner stage. Lol. Thanks again!
