    It has proven extraordinarily difficult to produce photos that capture the entirety of the foreign design elements on the coin. On obverse to right of face on bust there appears to be lettering that rises and falls to and from a central higher point. There are multiple strange markings and letters all over this coin. Need some real pros to look at this coin. CM181007-135157001.jpg CM181002-193447020.jpg CM181007-145345006.jpg

    I see nothing but a common 2000P Cent in a holder that is worth way more than the coin it holds.

    This is not a common 2000 P cent my pictures are terrible but those anomalous regions are raised elements struck onto the coin. I have to find a way to get better pictures.

    The anomalous regions are plating blisters. Relatively common on copper plated zinc cents

    My last picture is still poor. I have shown this coin to several of my acquaintances and they all agree that there is much to contrast between this coin and any other regular business strike 2000 cent. One even called it "satanic". The area above the 2000 is not a simple plating bubble to my best evaluation. There are truly raised, as if they were part of the design of the die itself, foreign design elements on this coin. One of which has the letters RIGLE... or PIRATES it's still hard to determine. The face is pocked with what appear to be extra eyelids the brow is strange and definitely abnormal. I will find equipment to better photo this coin before issuing any further reply or update.

    Common coin with plating blisters which are common.

    I’m assuming you live in a state where weed is legal ;)

    Just plating blisters. You may think you see something but your mind is playing tricks on you.

    You are seeing and looking for things that aren’t there. Please listen to what experienced folks on this site say. Zinc Lincolns develop all kinds of weird issues. None are worth anything.

    Save your time and money. We see what you are seeing. There is nothing special about this coin.

    You have shown it to all of us and all of us have reached the same conclusion, plating blisters. Now, it's time to spend $30.00 ++ and have it professionally graded and slabbed. Then you will have a piece of plastic worth $30.00 and a coin still worth one cent. Then you sell it on Ebay for $39K like the person with the 1989D quarter.

    Maybe someone here could provide an overlay to prove it's not a clash?

    Send it to a grading service, by all means.

    I don't see the letters you're talking about; even with my glasses on.
