They may have minor minting errors. 1983 has a vertical line right on top of liberty (bit blurry in the pictures). What do you think they might be? Any option is welcome. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 6:07 pm Thank you guys! I think I will label 1983 as "linear gas bubble" and put it aside with my (rather few) other US coins. I will try to explain with my limited English, what am I seeing on 1972 cent: It seems to have not centred, like a proper coin. It has a very tiny blank margin on below, and here we call those "off centre" meaning the coin was minted not on the centre of the coin blanc. I assume it's a super super minor thing, yet if that's correct I will label it as off centre and put it next to the 1983 one Report this Post to the Staff
molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 05/29/2020 5:39 pm John1 : I think it's a bit off-centre by a milimeter or two. There is some extra space on the south-southeast of the coin, compared to other cents. Report this Post to the Staff
