Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74196 Posts	Posted 09/26/2025 4:20 pm To CCF! Just a normal, circulated 1982 Large Date cent with a hit on the ear and plating issues. No errors or varieties. Worth 1 cent. https://www.lincolncentresource.com...es/1982.html https://doubleddie.com/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinsavy New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 09/26/2025 8:48 pm I appreciate all of your responses, thank you for the warm welcome as well. However, I respectfully disagree. Reason being... well it's easier if I just show you with some photos. Red lines indicate the various ears I see on this penny White lines are the corresponding jaw lines of Lincoln. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinsavy New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 09/27/2025 06:41 am Jimmy D... well alrighty then. I cannot help but laugh at that. I couldn't get upset even if I wanted to. You answer precisely, as I asked. I suppose I forgot to include asking, "if you do think I'm wrong please tell me why." I will try to do better next time. First-timer here on this forum posting. I don't know though, I thought that this particular site has other posters that are pretty insightful and helpful. Please, share your thoughts as to why you have, stood and, "corrected me wrong?" I Would love to know your thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinsavy New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 09/27/2025 06:53 am I see it plain as day. Multiple of Lincoln's,( (four+) earlobes/ears and jaws intersect with each other at their perspective points. ie., Where the bottom of the ear or earlobe meets Lincolns jawline jaw line. I can't be the only one seeing this! Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 09/27/2025 07:59 am Sure, glad to give you an explanation now that you ask. You are seeing something that isn't there. There is no way what you are describing could happen during the striking of the coin. If the coin was struck more than once, then it would show on the entire coin, not just In one particular area. Suggest reading up on how coins are minted and you would see that this is impossible. This would increase your knowledge on what is and is not possible to happen when a coin is struck.

snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1286 Posts	Posted 09/27/2025 5:03 pm Here's another thing to consider: this coin appears to have so many plating blisters, that it's very easy to see things which are blisters, not any sort of doubling, etc. I am fairly new to collecting, but have had several pennies which I was SURE had errors that no one else could see. However, I ultimately decided that those coins did in fact just have PMD and blisters. My suggestion: put the coin away for a while, then look again later. I've done this with many coins - as I learn more, I am able to see where I was originally wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96112 Posts	Posted 09/27/2025 8:16 pm to CCF. I see I'm late to the party. But I would have to agree with the comments posted above. I see circulation hits (on the ear mainly) and other spots, also the plating on this cent is far from ideal and pristine - that can cause the casual observer to see something that simply is not there ir impossible to be there without it being in other locations as well.
