Chagen222 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 05/09/2022 4:22 pm The front of this 1972 D Lincoln Cent has weird bubbling on the front and the E and R are missing from LIBERTY. The reverse doesn't seem to have any damage that would match the damage on the front. I'm not sure what could cause this. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/09/2022 5:54 pm Depending on the weight, it might have been something like a mild acid if the weight is a tad under 3.11. Not a plus for the coin, just a copper coin or a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
Chagen222 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 05/09/2022 6:08 pm I weighed it and it's 3.10 so could be damage from acid? Report this Post to the Staff
