I recently acquired a 1977 D Lincoln Memorial penny in a roll and it really has me stumped to what kind of error could be on the reverse. The areas that are affected are pressed in, not raised. It's a really neat find that I have never seen before. The mintmark and date look to possibly have doubling on them. I need help identifying what kind of errors these could be.

One got pried off. You are seeing the impression of the missing coin in the glue. Better photos would help tell for sure. You could soak the coin in acetone. If it is glue then it will come off. If not it will not hurt the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
