I collected coins when I was much younger and in early teens then stopped. I found the collection recently after 20 years and it restarted the passion and I have started coin roll hunting. I have only been at it a few months so please bear with any stupid questions. I have a 1990 penny not in the best shape but I noticed its not quite right. Can anyone tell me what kind of error this is? I am guessing a problem with the stamp and not the Die but not sure.There looks to be doubling around the Memorial and slightly around Lincolns head as well as in the lettering.

The strike broke through the plating and not is exposing the zinc. this happens sometimes on the zincolns. Report this Post to the Staff
