[QUOTE="Isaac Chapman, post: 4578460, member: 113258"]Hello everybody! Just a disclaimer, I am not a collector. Maybe I should be, because I love old things and I do think collecting is a fun hobby, I'm just not into it right now. That being said, I do know just a little bit about it. I know that error coins and stamps and currency and I assume pretty much anything collectable is sought after as it is unique. So as I was looking through my spare change, I found a 1985 penny. It has some nicks on the edge, and it does happen to be missing the L in Liberty, though I have heard that is a common error, and you can see a slight outline of it. But, there is also a bubble in the penny. Or at least it looks like it. I've looked at it close, and it is to spherical and perfect to be a nick or a scratch or anything. I work with metal and I have worked with molten metal and it looks the exact same as an air bubble in a sand casting. Now I don't know how coins and pennies are minted, so it could just be some weird happenstance. What do all you veteran collectors think?
