I found this 1999 Penny with a weird blemish on Lincolns forehead and a doubling on the nose, chin and also the lips. I can't find anything online about this coin and was wondering if anyone on here could help out?
I think it's post strike damage. It appears to have been pounded out of shape and what you see now is the result, displaced metal. Something like the dot on the forehead might be from a die chip or zinc rot -- but I think it just took a beating.
Keep hunting. There's goodies out there just waiting to be found.
