    First off I am sorry. I know this should have been under the error forum,but my computer would not open a new thread there. I didn't have any trouble under the other forums just the error section.
    I have no idea what is on the obverse of this coin I hope someone here can explain it. I found this this coin roll searching i don't cherry pick for errors if something is obvious I will check it out but I don't know or can't see well enough to find the small stuff that some search for.
    Thanks for your help Kent

    If you are talking about the blisters on the coin, it is the copper plating separating from the zinc base. These were quite common in the early years of the copper plated cent until they found out how to clean/prepare the zinc to get the copper to stick.

    Thanks I didn't care about the value if any I just wanted to know waht it was. So thanks for clearing that up and I am going to hang on to it because it is cool and only cost a cent. I appreciate it. Kent
