Thought this one was worth sharing. Looks like some major file work. Would have been fun to see in 1988.

That is fun to look at. Will you save it in a 2x2?

On the last two images, did you change your lighting?
I see on just those two a reflection/glare issue?
Or maybe there was Machine Doubling on the ONE CENT areas on the tops of the devices?

Thanks @PlumCrazy814- Use my cheap Anself USB 2.0 MPIX microscope which I can't recommend because LED lights are lousy and resolution settings over 640x480 look digital. I stick with the scope's lowest magnification of 5x, turn the LEDs off, and use my cell phone flashlight. Like using the cell flashlight too because I can move around coins easily and angle the light to pick up detail that many times straight on lighting won't show or drowns out.

Often I see images with glare and what is really there:

Sometimes the glare hides what the poster sees, that we can't. So inverting the images (Changing the color to an opposite one) helps to see what they were seeing. Thus I wondered?

The tell-tail indicator of glare doubling is when the doubling changes with the light source angling.

I agree, not worth the time and effort to try to sell this coin on ebay.

! have seen hunderds of zinc based cents in the 80's & 90's with this type of finish. You will find their worth is face value. Regards and keep looking!
