I bought a couple rolls and I have a few like this that are spotted n the ring is hinky this one has the chip in the ring above the o in God and dirextly left from his ear on the ring on the obverse N on the reverse "states of" is alot less punched... first of all why is it spotted...? Again they are brand new first time outta roll... There is a few with these lines between the ring and Lincoln, as well as the little cut line by the opening on his shirt kinda. I also have quite a few that are indented I guess u would say on Lincolns lower left shoulder/torso on obverse and again on the reverse in the o of "one" cent!!! The.indent u can see it gradually change from penny to penny its there then its gone or maybe it started went through the end of the roll but this crappy camera....#129318;#8205;#9792;#65039; anywho any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Uncirculated does not mean individually handled with care at the mint and during initial distribution. Your coins have normal and expected bag hits and coin wrapper marks.
Too many different coins to show in one topic - please separate them into their own topics for ease of discussion. 1st coin - a hit on the 'RIM' we don't call it a ring. (I'll assume that the reverse shown is for the 1st coin - but not sure (see why it is best to break them out into separate topics?) 2nd coin - a Ring of Death caused by a coin rolling machine 3rd coin - hard to tell, too close, too dark 4th coin - up-side down I see hits on the fields - possibly from the bins or bags they drop into before rolling 5th coin - saliva droplets from a sneeze or similar damage.
And thats why modern coins sometimes have a lot of value but mainly that value is only in the very top graded condition or two. See either PCGS https://www.PCGS.com/prices or NGC for examples. It reminds me slightly of 1971-s ike uncirculated and proof dollar as mentioned in nov 21 numismatist I brought up before. Uncirculated were bagged in bulk and shipped to NY for packaging causing lower quality on them and harder to find good examples. proof did not have this issue. P+D circulated also had poor quality. Innovation Dollars also have recently had up and down quality. So welcome to the wide world of coin condition.
What burns my patience is the quality of the new cents from the mint. Older coins look better than the new one being minted. I realize the metals are different. Just can't get quality anymore. There are spots everywhere on some of the new ones. Come on Abe, do something about your coins,lol.
Right that seems a little odd how the new coins have so many errors with all the advancements on technology. Compared to coin 100 to 150 years ago when most places ain't even have electricity

BUT: on coin 3, if that's the correct pic, is this MD or maybe a DD (on the LIBERTY as the letters are thickened? need to have better pics on this one. ON PIC / IN GOD - the one pic before - looks like MD? Coin 5 -maybe residue from the cleaning fluid from mint? Better then saliva.
