Selva Valued Member Malaysia 69 Posts	Posted 09/06/2025 3:20 pm On the obverse Lincoln's bow,nose and the word liberty seem to look like doubling. Behind the word R in Trust a raised line is minted. In between the R and T in liberty there seem to be a small die crack. At the reverse there seem to be some die cracks around the memorial beams.The memorial steps seem like doubling and wavyy.A black patch on the left looks like something is embedded there. Will appreciate your opinions and help very much. Thank you. Edited by Selva 09/06/2025 3:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21601 Posts	Posted 09/06/2025 3:42 pm There is nothing on that cent that can be considered an error. It seems every coin you post is just pocket change that has minor anomalies which are nearly always damage of some sort. As mentioned previously, please take the time to study what an actual error is. It is very rare to find an error in pocket change. Report this Post to the Staff

I agree with @bst that this is what is going on with TRUST.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8743 Posts	Posted 09/06/2025 7:40 pm With the current pics cannot tell much of anything. You mentioned "wavy steps", which was a term used for a DDR in the past but has been debunked and been decided that it is from a specific type of polishing referred to as a trail die. You would need to get us much better pics to see if you have anything out of the norm going on though. Link for trail dies if you are interested. https://www.traildies.com/ -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 09/06/2025 7:42 pm You are looking for things that the hobby puts no value on. This is common nowadays with the tons of misinformation on social media and ebay. ebay shysters hype up things like this hoping to sucker people out of money. Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage, useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, or minor insignificant imperfections (etc.). Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, get a box of penny rolls from the bank and separate the coins by date and mint mark. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins. :) How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
