1979 D Lincoln penny

Merged the duplicate threads again.

@Jessica mcclellan - stop posting multiple threads about the same coin, please. Multiple posts are fine. Just keep them to the same thread, please.

You might not have noticed, but started two separate threads about this same coin, on the same forum, just one minute apart.

 

@cpm9ball is correct here. It's just a modern Lincoln cent. Spend it or put it in some penny loafers. And even if it had been a minor error, it would still just be a 1979-D cent, worth only one cent, or the value of the copper.

 

I don't know how you manage to do it either, but do please try to pay attention to that, because it's a mild headache for us to have to come and combine your duplicate posts when they are reported (and this wasn't the first time).

 

Please try to learn why.

Just make posts about the same coin to your existing thread instead of launching a whole separate new topic each time.

One coin, one topic. Only start a whole new thread if you've got a different topic (a different coin, in other words).

Apparently you're hitting the "post new thread" button at the top instead of the "reply" link.

I'd post some screenshots to help instruct you, but I'm on a mobile device.

Just look when you post. It's not that hard, I promise.

 

And in answer to the original question, circulation wear is what's going on there.

 

Now you're skating along the edge of Rule #1. That's not "1950s television" language. I'll let it slide this time, because it slides on TV nowadays, and you've had enough hassling for today, but do please try to keep it to Andy Griffith or Leave It To Beaver standards, OK?

 

PS- just please don't start whistling the Andy Griffith theme song, whatever ya do!

I used to work with a guy who whistled that (badly)... again and again and again and again... hour after hour... day after day... year after year. And he's been at it for decades.

 

I already got the earworm when I posted that other link. Aaargh!
