    These little "shield bumps" are pretty common. Ive saved all the ones Ive found and I have a few rolls now. Hopefully somebody can figure out what they are. Great post!

    I still think its a die clash, that circle is sticking out of the field, just like a clash, I have some inverted ones too ! Heres some photos of that kind A010 - 20130112_073202 - Copy (2).jpg A014 - 20130112_073519 (2).jpg 2012.jpg

    Those appear to be plating blisters, and are not errors. They may also be die chips, but I can't tell for certain.
    And your coin can't really be a die clash because nothing matches up in that area on the obverse. Lincoln's coat would be in that area.

    How could it be a misaligned error (VDB) when it is where it is supposed to be on the shoulder?
    There is no way the other is a die clash. Go to mad clashes website and see Mr Cuvelier's overlays.

    If were talking about a 2012 Lincoln cent, VDB is on the bottom of Lincoln coat A004 - 20121218_063006 (2).jpg

    Yes, exactly where it is supposed to be, on the bottom of lincoln's coat close to the rim. So where is the misalignment?

    Oh, I see what you are referring to. The shoulder comment. Upper arm, so sorry.

    What is the error? All I see is die deterioration. I think you should brush up on your errors so you know what qualifies as an error and what does not.

    I have some also. But, what I noticed is that at the top of the head, it looks as if he has a cowhead at the top with horns. Some that I have as more pronounced than others later.:D

    If this is a worn die, then its grade is about fbms-65 ! It really a loose die, which caused lots of doubling, I just took photos of the date, mint-mark, and one of the motts ! I don't think a worn die would grade so well, and I don't think it would be a full band either !

    OK. You just proved my point. If the die was loose, as you say, this is MD! Machine Doubling happens when the die shifts a slight bit during the squeezing process. With a doubled die coin, the doubling is actually on the die itself. So you have nothing more than an ugly "mint state" coin!

    with nice machine doubling, not easy to come by, if so, post that 2012- P to prove your point, otherwise, pretty rare i would say ! p.s. don't for get full band to :dead-horse:
