Nqsss Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 03/31/2019 01:18 am I just went through one box of pennies from the bank and I found a 2011 penny in great conditions on both sides. It contained multiple errors and I need help to identify them. Your assistance are greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 03/31/2019 06:44 am @nqsss, first thing that I would do is take a wooden toothpick and try to depress these raised areas. If you can, then they were linear plating bubbles. If not, then they might be die gouges.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/31/2019 2:11 pm The spots are water spots. The mark that looks like a die scratch is actually a coin damage mark on the 'S' on PLURIBUS. These devices are incuse. (sunk into the coin) when another coin hits that device, the metal is pressed into an incuse device. Thus looking in the die gouges and scratches, but they are just damage to the coin.
