    I call this beauty ive found myself Cyclops because of its laser beam looking vision it looks like.

    Im. Guessing its the famous blistered coin error that happened on and after the transition in 1982.

    Any thoughts or opinions on this penny that is also Brillliant UNCIRCULATED.

    It's plating blisters. Plating issue. No added value. ;)

    The plating of Zinc cents caused many a problem, it's interesting.
    Fun find!

    Brilliant Uncirculated? Yeah, it looks like it. But the anomaly appears to merely be plating blisters, as mentioned.

    Plating blisters as stated. Plating was a big issue as this was the first year of this process.

    For those who don't know who she is referring to. Cyclops is a Marvel comics superhero. Part of the X-Men. He emits laser beams through his eyes..

    To me it looks nothing like Cyclops.

    It looks more like Lincoln is crying :cyclops:

    Thanks for that explanation. I have zero interest in or knowledge of comic book superheroes, so I thought we were talking about the Cyclops of Greek mythology.

    Of course the coin looks nothing like that, either.
