Hello, I'm new to this hobby and recently found this interesting curved F when looking for the "1988-D 1C Wide AM FS-901". When I checked out the FG on this one, the F had a little curve to it, and there appeared to be something going on to the North West of the F also. Can anyone more experienced please advise? Thank you so much in advance! EDIT: Adding Pictures below.     Edited by Pyrotiny

John1,
I was overly eager to post this, my apologies for the quality. I have it hooked up to my PC, but there must be a little issue since it isn't displaying anymore on the camera. I'll have it fixed and repost with a better picture if the consensus of replies asks for it.
Though just to note, it isn't a trapped gas bubble, but I understand why you state it looks that way.

Looks like a die chip, I think I see 6 alone in your photo, can you post a shot of the whole coin just for reference to the die state. Edit: I'm always forgetting to check post count and such and forgetting to welcome are new members Edited by Wrekkdd

Also this is not the RDV-006, it is a RDV-005. Not the shape of the top of the 'G'?  Also another clue is that all of the RDV-006 are fresh dies. Not showing any wear or weakness on the initials. Also look at the AME will also be another clue:  The RDV-005 are rounded. On the RDV-006, the devices are flat and larger. So there are two clues on the differences of these different die designs. |

Coop,
I know, I did not state I believed it was that variety. I stated that I looked at the FG due to looking for this variety and noticed this odd sighting.
Thanks everyone for the welcomes :)

What was the reference on your first post: Quote:I'm new to this hobby and recently found this interesting curved F when looking for the "1988-D 1C Wide AM FS-901". |

The reference was; While looking for the 1988-D 1c Wide AM FS-901, I found this interesting curved F. The reason I even looked at the FG for this cent was due to my search for that specific variety. While I know it isn't that variety, I still found this curvature interesting and unique to me personally as a nooby in this hobby. Was hoping for insight on why it was curved. |

Several are most likely plating bubbles after having a closer look. Even the bottom of the F I'm having trouble telling if it's a die chip or not. I'll let the zinclon experts make the call lol. |

It is an interesting place for a plating issue to occur. All in all, it is a nice looking coin.

Interesting. My guess would be just a small gas bubble between the zinc and the plating layer. Looks cool though.
