1998 Penny

Two raised half circles in between the 4th and 5th, and 9th and 10th pillars. What could this be? Is it a major error and valuable or is it a minor error that is worth 1 cent?

Plating Bubbles.. worth 1C

 

damn

 

Yeah, but the question mark on the coin is really interesting......

 

lol

 

You're a good sport Paul........

 

Is this not a die clash? Still minor yes. What do you think could it be a clash?

 

I will investigate

 

I can't see any evidence of a die clash.

 

this has similar clash of a Lawson 1999 http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/1999_1c_Rev_Dies.htm

 

The Lawson example is clashed on both sides. With strong memorial clash on Obverse. The area in question on the OP picture is raised. If it were a clash I believe it would be incused.

 

Think paddyman what is incused on the die is relief on the coin

 

Clashes are raised ...

 

They often appear incused, but clashes are raised.

 

this is a clash of above his chin and a section of wavy hair. The rest of the clash has been polished out

Looks like a clash to me.

Also good pictures! There is a post on here somewhere that does into detail on taking pictures that would really improve your already good pictures. The main thing is lighting, though. Get a second light and place one light on each side of the coin pointing at the coin from an angle.

I'll see if I can find the post.

 

Hope this works...

Thanks @NumisRookie . I actually had two lights in those photos on either side. I'm still learning more about my camera so my photos will only get better.

 

The thinks I have seen in Lincoln cents over the years has amazed me.

 

I agree. I mentioned that because with proper lighting and white balance, your pictures would be awesome. I definitely appreciate when folks take their time to get the right picture. You obviously do. Keep up the good work! [emoji122]
