Abraham1 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 5:05 pm This 2009 Lincoln Cent appears to have a test mark on obverse Under ear where hairline ends. I haven't seen any 2009 obverse designs like this coin. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 5:08 pm Just a split plating issue. How can I tell? Note the pin hole with a shade of gray on the raised area? Just the zinc getting oxygen and starting to break down. Edited by coop 04/09/2019 5:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Abraham1 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 5:26 pm I will send another pic. Something dark in color dripped on the penny. That is what you see. No other 2009 I've seen is like this. Report this Post to the Staff
Abraham1 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 5:30 pm Aren't test marks applied using a steel ball and a steel pin with point on it? This will put a hole at top of test mark. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74784 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 6:01 pm Zinc rot, not a Test Mark. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Abraham1 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 6:44 pm Respectfully guys. The coin has a black substance on it from eye level down. Wouldn't the test mark have a dimple on top from the testing process? If so, I believe the black has settled in the dimple. Makes it look like rot. Just asking? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 7:09 pm Test mark? For what reason, and by whom? Agree this looks like a coincident zinc bubble. to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog 04/09/2019 7:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
