Lookatmyak79 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 02/23/2023 3:59 pm Found this 1969 D Lincoln Penny, which on the obverse side has a circular imprint dead center. Any ideas of the cause? I'm not convinced this would be a printing error or I'm not experienced enough to know. I've been slowly learning about the types of errors but failing to really learn without physically being able to hold it in my hands and to be able to see it personally so I can compare and take personal notes for myself. Also on the reverse side has maybe a potential floating roof? Can anyone give this beginner some quick lessons and understandings. Lol. Appreciate anyone who is able to take the time to give me a hand. Really appreciate it and I hope your day is blessed * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

The mark on Lincoln is just damage, possibly from a vending machine. It does look like a floating roof on the reverse. This is caused by polishing the dies and can occur on any year Memorial cent. Fairly common. Report this Post to the Staff

Lookatmyak79 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 02/23/2023 4:14 pm @Jimmy D, thank you and I had got myself confused and mistakenly said printed in the place of struck. I apologize for my ignorance as I am in the beginning trials. I truly appreciate the responses Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 02/23/2023 6:18 pm The floating roof 'errors' are highly promoted on Youtube/IG/etc., and I believe it's the same people who have them listed for hundreds of dollars in the usual places. But when the coins get listed for a dollar with free shipping, they get exactly one bidder. And the ones SOLD for $350 with 'best offer accepted' may very well have been sold for a best offer of $1 to someone else in the racket.
