1984 zincoln

What do you remember is important about the super thin electrostatic copper plate over a zinc core?

And what are you pointing out is an error?

 

There's no ink in the letters on the back of the coin

 

it must have all leaked out when you turned the coin over...

 

Coins are not printed.. they don't use ink at the US Mint were they MINT coins

 

Here is the explanation of what you have

Quote "The 'o' of oF is weak because it is opposite the Bust of Lincoln - when
struck, the metal flows into the larger Bust area of the die, making the design
opposite it a bit weaker. This is a VERY common effect on Memorial Reverse Cents......not considered an error coin."​
