Mongodan New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 12/31/2024 11:59 pm I have this 1919 Lincoln Wheat cent with unknown markings in the field next to lincolns face on the obverse. It seems to me these markings are prior to the print because there are no other marks on the rim or on lincolns head. Can anyone help me identify this? Report this Post to the Staff

It might be a Lamination, but it's hard to tell with the current photo. https://www.error-ref.com/lamination-cracks/ Also, coins are struck, not printed. Errers and Varietys.

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10546 Posts	Posted 01/01/2025 12:38 am I agree with E&V - looks like a lamination even with the bad pics. But then below it may be some Reed Marks. Report this Post to the Staff
