On the front , below Lincolns tie , it looks to be feathers like you would see on the wounded eagle dollars in 2000 , I know that's not it , or maybe a torch of a dime Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21601 Posts	Posted 04/28/2021 5:02 pm A mule is when the obverse of one coin is paired with the reverse of another coin. Your cent shows no indication of that. Both sides are normal for a 1986 cent. That line you see is a linear plating bubble, common on zinc coins. Report this Post to the Staff
