JoshuaV New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/01/2016 8:25 pm Hi I'm new to coin collecting and while filling in a Lincoln cents folder I found this coin and was just wandering if it was a error coin or just damaged thanks * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 04/01/2016 8:37 pm Looks like a normal coin with odd toning. Pretty common amongst zinc Lincoln cents. You should be able to find all of the Lincoln Memorial Cents ( LMC) series and the Lincoln Shield cent ( LSC) series in high grades from pocket change and searching rolls from the bank. So find and upgrade your collection as time goes by! Also, there are a number of Error and Variety coins for those series worth looking for. Enjoy the hobby! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/02/2016 11:01 am Is it gray in that area? If so, then there might be a split plating issue and the coin is starting to suffer zinc rot and that color will be replaced by a pot hole. What is the going rate for a pothole? LOL Not much.
