1983D Lincoln is in the beginning stages of zinc rot. The pimply appearance is caused by the zinc core corroding underneath the copper plating, bubble developed at the T. The 1957D has a die chip in the date, very common. The 2003 has corrosion problems as well.

Welcome to CCF. Those are some nice photos your taking,what's your set-up? Also, the 1957-D looks like it was once encased because of the damage around the rim. I like that '03 gas bubble on the chin,looks cool.

I have never looked at modern pennies before, but notice a marked difference (in both shape and length) in Abe's beard between the wheat back and memorial back cents.... Lizzie's beard just looks rather scraggly.

agreed on all, and the wheat reverse may have been in a Lucky Penny holder

Thanks John.I used Lumix Panasonic DMC-TZ65 set in Manual macro zoom. @zeewool, TreasHunt. My late grandfather and father gave me many coins, some are US and British coins. And different coins too from other countries. Now started to collect coins too. I need to show it first to a Professional Numismatist. Once done I'll post it here. Thanks kind regards. 1957-D Lincoln CentOBVERSE  REVERSE  |

Yes the 57-D has a die chip in the 9 and the coin itself has been removed from an encasement.

the first is what bio said, gas bubbles, the second is either a larger gas bubble, or corrosion. the third is PMD, the rim was pushed forward from a holder like a lucky penny holder |
