jolson Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 12:52 am Ok got an 1982P Lincoln Cent. There seems to be some odd bubbles above the date... and does the eight look double die to you? Report this Post to the Staff

Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 01:18 am Gas bubbles, very common on Zincoln's. You should be able to smash it down with your finger nail if you want. I do not see doubling on the 8, just part of the gas bubble process. Sadly, in my opinion the cent is worth just that, one cent. You may wish to wait for someone else to confirm.

jolson Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 01:22 am @Sudz.... I thank you for your quick response. Gas bubbles sounds about right... but the date is a 1982 Large Date is it not? It may not be doubled but I am quite sure it is a large variety. Report this Post to the Staff

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 08:44 am looks to be zinc anyway but weigh it just to double check. Report this Post to the Staff
jolson Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 02/26/2014 03:23 am Thanks everyone! The large date was pretty easy to detect... but the "air bubbles" I have just noticed. Is that something desired and treated as an error or undesireable thus lowers the value? Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 02/26/2014 05:02 am I consider the bubbles damage and not an error. Report this Post to the Staff
