Just damage.

 

Your coins are solid copper and brass they should not have gas bubbles as much as the copper plated zinc coins. The one with what looks like scratches even has me puzzled. I bet I could figure it out if I had it in hand to look at. It it is scratches I do believe it happened at the mint. I went back and took a really close look at two of your photos . It looks to me like the short line going from the A on the reverse side may be where the biggest line on the obverse side begins or ends. If this is the same line then I can't figure out how this could possibly be a scratch but strange things can happen. It sure is not from a gas bubble.

 

He don't quit , that is probably what some want you to do. Just ignore what some people say and hang in there and learn as you go. I can tell you already know a heck of a lot about error coins and how they are made at the mint. I'm still here for a little while longer and I'll help all I can.

 

I don't want you to quit, I want you to learn.

 

I done w/ it ,no one here is even even giving me the time of day anyways. Atleast I am spending alot of time on this trying to figure it out other than just saying "thoughts? DOUBLE?? . Whatever love for numismatics that was left in me has died. RIP

 

The coin in this post is very interesting . It does look like a gas bubble and would be kind of scarce in a copper cent. Is this the one that has the rim blow out?

 

I suspect the love you thought you had for numismatics was in fact love for dollar signs.

Every other YouTube video is titled “DO YOU HAVE THIS $50,000 PENNY IN YOUR POCKET???”

And proceeds to demonstrate an incredibly rare, graded example that auctioned for a ton.

If that’s what you’re looking for, you won’t find it.

If instead you’re looking to join a community of collectors, novices and experts, then welcome. If you insist on refusing the advice of literal, published experts in their fields, then I really don’t know what’s to say.

I understand wanting to see something that isn’t there. I wanted to see an S on my V nickel.

I wanted to see the rare “waffle cancel” strike on my steel cent.

I was told they weren’t, I accepted it, and I moved on.

After 5+ years of serious numismat-ing, I’m still learning something new every single time I log in to this website.

It just takes an open mind, a willingness to learn, and the courage to admit when you’re wrong.

PS - every coin in the world is an “error coin” if you magnify it enough.

 

that 1 isnt the same one,but i did pull it from the same bag,ive got a few nice ones but that 1 just looks the part

 

"I was told they weren’t, I accepted it, and I moved on."

Im sorry to hear that

"It just takes an open mind, a willingness to learn, and the courage to admit when you’re wrong."

an open mind put me here in this post today,if i werent here to learn i wouldnt be asking questions...but at the same time i will not accept everyones opinion as the gospel

 

A lot of good people gave you honest answers. I know you didn't like Fred's opinion but please take a second look at his post in your thread. He is the best there is in this field. When PCGS needs help with an error coin, guess who they go to. That would be Fred.

There are some other forums you could post the coin on to get other opinions. I would suggest CU if you would like more quality opinions. This is a link to that forum. https://forums.collectors.com/categories/u-s-coin-forum

rascal is only giving you false hope. He uses folks like you to stir the pot and create trouble on this site. Look him up and you will see what I mean.

 

Occluded gas pockets are not linear and are much different than a linear plating blister found on zLincolns.
The coin you have shown would be more appropriately labeled as lamination. While yes that is a mint error. The coin you started this thread with is damage.

 

Because no one wants to talk about an obviously scratched and dinged up cent. There are infinitely more interesting things to talk about here. Take a peek in the ancients section and look at the level and depth of knowledge being shared, it’s mind blowing.

 

I don’t know who Ken Peavey is but his in depth analysis told you it’s a scratch. Why are you still thinking otherwise?

 

Ken potter verified the example you are reffering to as an occ gas bubble...i have more than 1 linear example

 

You're not looking for a debate. You are looking for people to agree that you have
some rare error coin. The photo in post #40 doesn't match the photo in post #1. What does that have to do with original coin?

 

im aware of that....i was responding to someone elce with that picture stating that there were several occ gas bubbles in the same bag...that being 1

"You're not looking for a debate.You are looking for people to agree that you have some rare error coin"

that is the point of a debate...opposing sides arguing different propositions. I havent said rare one time this entire post,i was simply entertaining the fact that it could be something other than dmg.....which seems to be a sin punishable by stoning

 

and idk why this is still open tbh

 

Is this the same Ken Potter that put out the god awful Strike it rich with pocket change? Yep, not seeing it. But good luck. He may have put out a book but I don't trust him with any authority.
