mikeyboi83 New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 08/24/2020 5:29 pm Hello everyone, I am new here and just started collecting! I have come here in hopes to find out more about this penny I found today. It is a 2009 Lincoln bicentennial formative years penny. I noticed it had some silver blotches on certain parts of the coin and it also looks like it was not fully punched properly, the rim looks off center and also on the back it looks like the outer rim is also off center. Is anyone able to help distinguish if this is an error or from circulation ware. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

A god thing to help ID damaged coins vs errors is to remember if you can think of a way to duplicate what you see using tools etc., then almost always what you have is damage and not an error.

Spence Moderator United States 34398 Posts	Posted 08/24/2020 9:37 pm @mb, looks like you have used the same name for multiple pics and so now some of these pics are from a different coin. Better is to name your pic files with unique names so that there isn't this overlap. Thx.
