I've never seen anything like it if is from the die, worth posting in the errors forum. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 10:31 pm Yes definitely raised and part of the coin. I'll try to snap some more photos tomorrow. Report this Post to the Staff

Wideglide Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 5:13 pm Kind of looks like weld spatter. It probably would stick/meld with the coin, with copper having a lower melting point. Could have been on a weld table... Edited by Wideglide 05/21/2020 5:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19968 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 8:11 pm Looking at the new picture, it's PMD. Agree with wide, that was my first thought without better pictures....now I'm sure. If it was an error, it would happen with some frequency and I've NEVER seen a coin like yours that wasn't PMD. This sort of thing doesn't happen with the dies. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Edited by BadThad 05/21/2020 8:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 05/22/2020 10:12 am For the raised area to the left of the hair, there is what looks like a significant die crack adjacent to it that I saw under a loupe. It wasn't immediately obvious on the other photos. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 05/22/2020 10:20 am On the reverse, there look like two die chips to the right of the left wheat stalk, and one on the right wheat stalk. There is also an area of raised metal from the center of the T in UNITED through the top of the F in OF. Edited by fenton 05/22/2020 10:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
