kewl. but have you tried the "licking" test on those?

 

It's zinc and it's damaged. Do I need to say more?

 

And 1 more thing you need to know.. Next time You should create your very own separate thread. What you did on this thread is called hijacking.
Your questions have nothing at all to do with the original Cent in question.

 

I can't figure out how to load pics...got it

 

No need to be snotty to new person. That's why I mentioned I was new How I supposed learn if I don't ask to the things I cannot find info on ? I tell you one, I will never post on here again, but hope you are not rude to new people. By other posts though, I believe someone should monitor your

 

Whatever miss.. I was just trying to help. Nobody needs to monitor me. I have been a daily regular helping hundreds of members since 2013. If you don't like it that's to bad. Doesn't affect me one bit.

 

I just saw your Cent. That's a damaged mint mark. Plating issue caused zinc rot.. Sorry but my bubble has not been busted at all. Better luck next time!
Peace!

 

I believe you for sure..knew it shouldn't have been but when it come to coins..surprises happen. the 1982 S 2 Denver wasn't suppose to exist either. thats why i Love this stuff. Thanks. I'm still looking for Fredrick Douglass sitting at Duke Ellingtons Piano lol

 

That is a damaged mintmark. Spend it!

 

I am very new to this so I'm not really sure what I have. This is a 1993D penny that shows a pretty severe error on the coin. I would sure appreciate someone's professional opinion. Thanks in advance

 

That's not a severe mint error. It's just a Die Deterioration issue. Copper plated zinc cents have that appearance when struck by a worn die.
Nothing major.

Does it have any value?

 

No premium for that. Sorry.

 

It's a zinc Cent and this is common on Zinc. Not a Mint error. Only worth one cent.
