Schism New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 08/19/2022 10:35 am I just now found this 1971 D Lincoln Memorial cent. What type of error is this? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96214 Posts	Posted 08/19/2022 11:02 am does not look like an error. It seems to be environmental toning. (Unless you are seeing something else, please point it out) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/19/2022 11:04 am Sharper pics would help. Maybe it's an optical illusion, but Lincoln's face almost looks eaten away. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 08/19/2022 1:21 pm I think this coin has acid damage or even has been in the ground and cleaned up. Note how the face has been eaten away and over all surface as well. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 08/19/2022 1:31 pm Please explain what you are seeing as an error so we aren't guessing. If you are referring to the colour, discolouration is not an error. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 08/20/2022 2:01 pm Might be paint. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/20/2022 4:46 pm Looks more like a mild acid, like soda was used on this coin for a while altering the surface of the coin. Spender or save for copper. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 08/20/2022 4:58 pm Given the images posted, I'm going with exposure to an acidic environment. May have been roughly cleaned after the expose. Report this Post to the Staff
