Thre3leven New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/11/2020 05:48 am Hello! Obligatory "first post/need ID" for a 1989 D Lincoln Cent. Thanks in advance! What is the error called? Is it common/is the coin valuable? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 08/11/2020 08:35 am @311, first welcome to CCF. Second, that number 9 does look very odd, but I suspect that that a small hole in the copper plating at the bottom of the 9 has allowed the underlying zinc core to begin the degradation process. This can lift up the surrounding copper plating into a bubble. Please try to depress this with the tip of a wooden toothpick.

Thre3leven New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/11/2020 7:49 pm So your saying my first post is just a coin with gas? Haha. Off to a great start :) Thank you all for the warm welcome and prompt replies. I have a handful of other possible double-die and/or mint mark errors. As a community do you guys generally prefer separate threads for each coin or throw them all in one? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 08/11/2020 8:19 pm Yes thx for asking. As @agwolf noted, best practice is one coin per thread.
