I have been saving USA pennies since 1974. Started working with them just 1 month ago. To be precise there are over 10,000 pennies and we found the following example with error. Please check images of obverse and reverse. Any advise will be deeply appreciated. In TRUST the ST are like inside a bubble.   |

Then please explain how this happens during the minting process, which step, and what happens to create this error?

That is the point for making it unique. You may see the ST and the rim inside the bubble. In principle, all errors are damaged coins. Thanks for your time.

All errors are not just damaged coins. Take this nickel for example:   |

thanks for your reply. Maybe I did not made myself clear. What I wanted to say is that is impossible to produce the error shown by humans means. It is a bubble that is covering or showing the ST and RIM underneath very clearly.

@ramon1604 Foreign material on coin (plastic, glue, varnish)? Did you try an acetone bath? Edited by Sharks

Sir, It is THE SAME METAL. We tried cleaning with toothbrush and soap. Also used acetone and nothing happened. If it had been glue, varnish or anything else it would have been removed.

You 100% ignored my question, explain how this happens during the minting process.
You can see plain as day that someone whacked the snot out of it on the reverse.

We tried cleaning with toothbrush and soap. This tells us one thing for sure. You know absolutely nothing about coin collecting. So you found this coin and are assuming it is an error while knowing nothing about the minting process. Do yourself a favor and study the process, then you'll know what can and cannot happen during the minting process. There are a billion ways to damage a coin. There is a finite number of ways an error can happen based on the process to make them. |

Creative post mint damage of some sort involving a pinpoint high heat source.
This coin did not come from the mint this way.
Argue all you want or come up with a better explanation.

Sir, I do not know what happened. We will be sending the coin to PCGS. Thanks to you all.
PD: We know coins should not be washed, did it intentionally to find out if it was glue of somekind. Besides that coin had been in a bucket full of coins for over 40 years. We are no experts but the fact is that we have over 10,000 USA pennies and over 5,000 coins from morgans, Dominican currency and international ones. Thanks again for your time.

You're wasting your money. The only thing that will happen at PCGS is that the graders will get a good laugh. Please don't send it.
