Under the A on the reverse could be a die gouge if it is raised I suppose?

Feel it with your finger to see if it is raised. Where it goes through the 2 beads. It goes through the beads in a different way for each.

What do you mean okiecoiner? I should never touch the face of a coin with my fingers-_-, I just inspected the coin more and will continue to, but I'm 99% sure it's raised. Any angle I like at it the light refraction on it shows it is raised. It's darker outside now I'll try and get a picky of the shadows cast from different angles. But ya I'll try a toothpick to see if it's raised as well.

If it is a die gouge would this actually be my first true error? Mayb a small premium?

This looks raised, more likely a plating issue, these minor errors are why I warned about looking for every tiny nicks and dings the RCM is not mandated to create MS70 coins. As for value, one of the best way to determine is ask what would you pay for this penny ?

@john100, that question is not something you should be asking me, if you have read my posts, I have never spent more then face value for any coins iv received, I am no expert and take in everything I read from others posting. I already said this is raised and not indented on the coin. Unless you are talking about the die error. This protrudes out from the coin, not a scratch or indented.
On a separate not, any good error that has to be viewed under a microscope. I post what's new to me and what's similar to what I seen. I research what I post as I find things(everything so far has been done for my cell phone including pictures) and I don't want to have a regret of loosing track of something I find worth actually putting in a 2×2.
Anyways like a die chip or crack this is on the coin not indented into to coin. That's why I thought a long die chip.

You have a bead on top of the bubble, so can"t be a die chip or the bead would be missing, you asked what premium this coin could be, one of the best way to find value is to always ask what would I pay for this unit

@john100, I have no spending cash for my hobby. So I make do with what I have(cell phone) if the Canadian coin market had my current perspective it wouldn't exist. I'm still too new to the error Coin World, and with pennies I have no idea, they are a denominations iv never touched. So if this coin could be worth 2-5$ or 10-20 or even 1$ it would be a keeper to me, unless I find something with a decent possible premium I would save it for the collection I'm starting for my son. A forum like this is ti ask questions and seek concrete answers. If this coin is a die gouge would it be my first recognizable error iv posted the could be worth saving? The forum is obviously a community as well and again I appreciate every comment and link. I know I'm new and alot of people come and go in sure, and I'm sure plenty of people here have know each other for years. And in happy you all have been so supportive and helpful, it's like being back in school for me lol.

A dealer would charge a buck or two for this type of coin but will take forever to sell and if you bought it for a buck or two, 50 years from now you would have a tough time getting your money back,hope this helps. Another simple advice for error hunting,if you can"t see it with the naked eye, it" probably not worth saving.

If I ever sold a 1¢ for 1$ that's 100× markup. I wouldn't sell it though if it's a minor error it's a saver for one of many collections. I'm not poor or anything I just am very limited for cash since my son and I am a smoker and have my vices(nothing illegal) and with the rent increases and my fiance being off work. Finances will get better eventually, so If it's worth 2$ mayb or and educational piece then I'd like to save it. Furthermore, I still don't even know what this is. I originally posted thinking it was a weird die chip. I don't know how to evaluate or value an error. So when I post it's more what would you pay if this is what it is(or not). I'm here for opinions and information on coins, not philosophy or sociology. I want to hunt and learn about coins and save what's worth looking at again (not through a magnifying glass) I understand there is rare errors and not so rare, and that something that looks extreme on a coin could be worth 10-500$ depending condition and if someone actually wants it. Something so small like a real DDO or DDR is worth more because of how it happens and how rare it is. I just wanted confirmation about what this is and the info to look it up . But as far as iv read and been told it's a die gouge. So is it rare or interesting enough to save? I still have every coin iv posted almost, for my own reminders and examples. But I have yet to ever find a coin that us supported enough to 2×2 it lol. So I keep digging.

It's called a die scratch I believe. If so, it's a decent sized one. But I'm no expert
