Jenk New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 03/28/2021 1:40 pm Hello, I am new to pocket Change hunting and I came across this 1972 no mint mark Lincoln Penny. I believe that it has some press errors, but am unsure of what to do next or how to clarify for sure. Any guidance would be kindly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 03/28/2021 2:28 pm to CCF! with Dearborn about it being a vise job, nothing like that could have happened at the time of production at the mint. Quote from John1: Quote: Pic is to blurry to see if it is a variety or not Something like this would be a nightmare in the making if it just happened to be a variety..... That'd be just my luck and I'd probably throw up..... Report this Post to the Staff
