On the obverse side under the 1999 I can't fully say but seems to be the word eagle possibly. Also die marks on Lincoln's face also the G seems double or possibly struck with a different letter. The chin and mouth area as well Now on the reverse side of the coin by the N in cent seems to have something the FG seems to either be double struck or I don't know. And final the side of the coin seems to have a line going through the middle weight is exactly 2.5 grams * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 02:50 am It looks like a normal cent as far as I can tell...maybe a plating bubble by the N on the reverse. Do you know what a mule is? In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 04:27 am I do see some plating issues, but that is all. Definitely do some studying, even if it was what you think you are seeing, that would not be a mule. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 06:39 am Mule Error This is a rare Mint error where the obverse die is of one coin and the reverse die is of another coin. The most famous of the Mule errors is a Sacagawea dollar/Washington quarter Mule, where a Washington quarter obverse is paired with a Sacagawea reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Apetrou78 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 6:18 pm I apologize for the videos I been watching stated that mule coins had a strike on it from a possible other denomination on the obverse or reverse of the coin. Thank you for clarifying. Also can anyone else see the striking on the G. And what it spells under the date Report this Post to the Staff
Apetrou78 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 6:19 pm Also why does it seem on the inverted color picture that this specific coin seems like there is a line separating the coin on the I believe edge/side Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 6:54 pm If something was on the die, it would be incuse. Incuse on the die would be raised on the coin. What you are seeing is just something that is a surface alteration. (stain) If it were really there from the die, it would be raised. Seeing something that is not there is what the brain trains you to think you see something there: Well get this a lot here. If it were on the die, it would be raised, and they never are.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 10:39 pm Never a good idea to hold coins like you were in your photos. Fingerprints help to destroy numismatic value. Better, purchase inexpensive cotton gloves wherever hobby supplies are sold. Report this Post to the Staff
