ChangeGazer92 New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 03/16/2019 5:16 pm I have a 2005 D Lincoln Cent that I can't tell if it's damaged or is an error. It's hard to get a good clear pic on my phone, but on the reverse side, the copper coating in missing in the center and to me doesn't look worn off. Same with some spots on the face side. I'm no pro though. Error or damage? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

ChangeGazer92 New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 03/16/2019 5:35 pm Coinfrog- yea it does, the reason it struck me odd was that it looks too precisely damaged to be from wear and tear. Maybe someone, for some odd reason ground on it? Report this Post to the Staff

ChangeGazer92 New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 03/16/2019 5:56 pm Now that I look at it, I can picture a bored kid scraping on it with a pocket knife. Also I wonder if it's from some kind of corrosion, some of the letters with the missing copper are inset into the metal instead of protruding. Report this Post to the Staff
