alyssarenae1128 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 12/20/2021 11:46 pm I have a 1978 Lincoln Penny that caught my eye one day on my ever-lasting journey to find interesting coins. I have collected most of my life but just recently started learning the ins and outs of collecting. I don't know if what I see is an error or if it's nothing worth anything and need the assistance of the more knowledgeable. You'll see in the picture the edging from right above Lincolns head along to in front of his face is off. I'm unsure if I have something with this or if it's nothing. Please help confirm what I hope might be my first correct error. Thank you and the suspense is too much! Report this Post to the Staff

And too, please crop your photos to the edges of your cent, there's too much wasted space and the image will be larger. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 12/21/2021 09:05 am Welcome to CCF. Also look up misaligned die (MAD) and off center strikes. In either case it would be very minor based on what we can see. Keep posting your coins and asking questions. Report this Post to the Staff
