jason39305 Pillar of the Community United States 743 Posts	Posted 05/01/2019 08:30 am I went to my LCS yesterday and was looking at some proof sets. One in particular, 1992, had a rather large linear bubble on the obverse of the cent. I passed on purchasing it since I want the coins to be without blemishes. I believe it was a copper plating bubble. My question is, should I go back and buy that proof set since that is an error, or is it not worth it. Report this Post to the Staff
