1991 Lincoln Cent Errors

to the forum!

You seem to have the kind of eyes needed to pick out the fine details of error coins, now let's work on finr tuning them!. Your coin is a normal coin in all regards. Let's go down the list.
1). This is called MAD, a misaligned/loose strike, not an off center, that would be a loss of detail on both sides.
2) those lines next to column are normal striking. Possible plating bubble upper left 12
3)Cartwheeling is the normal finish, of a coin with strike "luster"
4)Split plating on the letters, thin copper is cut by sharp edges on die exposing zinc core, also some slight mechanical damaging MD strike movement
5)those lines in S and OF are die polishing lines, were trying to remove a blemish most likely a deep clash/scrape. Had to go deep in face of the die to remove it, removed the depth of design.

See, normal coin, but you're looking in the right areas to ask about! Keep it up!

Thank you Crazyb0!! I have so many questions. LOL! Here is another one that looks off as well. The coin looks almost broadstruck.....I'm confused on this one.
