wheatychief Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 02/28/2024 10:12 am Searching online I think this is considered a MAD (Misaligned Die strike) but it might just be damage from the coin rolling. I thought the bubbles were interesting too. Any thoughts on what happened to the rim on the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff

I can't tell if the bubbles are plating bubbles or drops of a foreign substance on the surface of this cent.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/28/2024 1:14 pm What date coin are you talking about? The title reads 1983 and the coin shown is 1986 and can't tell if it has a D mint mark or not. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/28/2024 4:29 pm I did not fix the title not knowing if it is a Denver mint or if it is the intended (date) coin. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Sorry for the worst first post ever with the wrong date but it looks like it got fixed Ive been seeing my fair share of these and definitely on the zincolns. Its so cool to confirm what we read online with people with lots of experience! Thank you Report this Post to the Staff
