Pgwinter New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 12/21/2021 11:33 pm I need help identifying round markings on a 1982 zinc Lincoln Penny. The round markings are on the obverse and reverse of the coin. The markings are around the date, between the lettering, and after the word America on the reverse. These raised dots look like the period after E. Pluribus and before and after the word Unum. The dots are everywhere on the coin. Please provide your expertise, and guidance if any. I have tried to upload a photo of the obverse and reverse of the coin. I look forward to hearing from someone that may know what these dots are and if there are any other known coins with this variety? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img...5/agGmvh.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img...2/rb9uve.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
