HoboNickelCarver Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 01/09/2020 11:32 pm I have this 1955 S Lincoln Cent with an issue with the 9 in the date. What would this be called? It looks like a glob of metal under high magnification. Thanks for your help! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff
