Found this in my change. The date has a little Cud and the word "trust" is all messed up. Did the die break, or is it something in the lamination? Also... how do you tell the difference between a bronze coin and a copper one?

Not a Cud, Die Break, or Lamination. It looks like a Gas Bubble.

Around TRUST looks like a plating issue. Since this is a copper-plated zinc cent, there really aren't lamination flaws as we know them.

Can you describe what you see on the date? I may see something tiny in the 8, but I can't be sure.

As far as copper or bronze, no Lincoln cents are pure copper, so you could say that anything before the switch to zinc in 1982 (minus 1943, of course) is "bronze."

If you are suggesting that this coin may be 95% copper instead of zinc, a simple weight test will give you the answer. 95% copper Lincolns weigh ~3.11g and copper-plated zinc cents weigh ~2.5g.

Well... I just started doing this with a box of wheat pennies I inherited from my grandma. I wasn't suggesting it was copper. I was looking up errors for the 1958 wheat pennies, and it said that some if them were copper. Since I have a pile of about 10 or 15 of them, so I thought I should find out how to check. Lol.

As far as the 9 goes... yes, I was referring to the little chip, but there's also what looks like something connecting it to the one. Like a sideways triangle.

No problem. I generally just use the terms "copper", "zinc" and "steel" to differentiate between the three official compositions. As far as 1958s, they should all be "copper", which means 95% copper, as far as I know.

There are several transitional composition errors to keep an eye out for, though: 1943 copper, 1944 steel and 1983 copper for starters.

Okay, I see what you are referencing now. A better pic would help because it is a bit difficult to see. I can't tell if it is a die chip or a plating issue.

I tried zooming it in more with my microscope, but it just gets blurry. That's part of why it's been so hard to figure out what I was looking at... it was too close to focus. Lol. I'm starting to get the hang of it though.
