Potbellypub Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 01/30/2017 3:49 pm Found this on a 1989 penny, the nine appears to have hair . Is this possibly a stamped through piece of lint or thread or is this a zinc bubble beginning? . I ask a lot of questions about things that are probably of no interest to some but I would like to able to identify all the different things that can happen . Thanks in advance for your reply !

Potbellypub Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 01/30/2017 4:22 pm It has the appearance of both possibilities , but the coin surface is in good shape doesn't seem to be more bubbles but I know that it doesn't always mean those couldnt be the first . Thanks oldmike! Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 01/30/2017 4:51 pm Sure, anytime. One thing I have is plenty of opinions, not always correct, but plenty of opinions. lol They've been having trouble plating these cents since mid 1982. Report this Post to the Staff
Potbellypub Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 01/30/2017 4:55 pm I have noticed , (the playing problems not the opinions lol ) Report this Post to the Staff
Potbellypub Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 01/30/2017 4:58 pm I know this is off this subject but I post too many questions and don't want to make a new post if you would give me you opinion once more . Is it normal to have a slightly off center punch on both sides of the coin but in two different directions about 45 degrees away ? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 01/30/2017 5:05 pm You can't post too many, it's the best way to learn here. That's what it's all about. We all help each other as we learn, as you learn you'll be able to help too. An off-center is missing part of the rim on both sides, and it's not common. Now that you mention it, I believe they are opposite each other. Someone that knows more about the directions will probably chime in. Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 01/30/2017 5:59 pm They look raised, so I'm agreeing with bubbles or a plating defect. If a coin was struck through, the affected area should be depressed inward. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/30/2017 8:41 pm It maybe a couple of very small die scratches or gouges. Note on the area affected, you see die flow lines through the area in question. That indicates that it is on the die and not a plating anomoly. If it were a bubble these flow lines would not be present. Also if it were damage these flow lines would not be there. So it was on the die in order for these flow lines to be present.
