Two interesting coins, not sure they are anything to shout about. Coin one looks like concave....like a spoon. Bad pic, but you can clearly see it at the top of the cent. Is this anything of an error? Coin two has the mint mark on a raised piece of metal. I used to call this a cud until corrected here at CT. I don't know what to call it, but the mint mark was put on top of it. Very interesting. There is no mark at all on the reverse. My guess is that you will say, "no premium, but nice find." Am I right? __________________ Bob   10-30-2009, 01:57 AM   #2 (permalink) fishaddicit Senior Member     Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Hawaii Posts: 423 My Mood: The first one, not sure about term but it is very common. The second one is a gas bubble.   10-30-2009, 02:04 AM   #3 (permalink) fretboard Defender of Old Coinage     Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Northern California Posts: 821 My Mood: Blog Entries: 2 Ahhh! A gas bubble, that sounds familiar. You know if you put that one on ebay as a gas bubble error I'm sure you could get a very nice premium. You don't usually see a gas bubble, you may smell one or hear one but you never see them. Sorry, I couldn't contain myself. Nice coin error for sure.

No value 2) common.......the coin is rotting and that is effecting the plating. No value I wouldn't say these are nice finds:-( Sorry. These are incredibly common and should be put back into rolls and spent. Bill   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
