2018-D Zincoln Cent What’s this?

No way is this PMD nor deterioration, right?

Die chips Meow thinks. Bet that is hard to photograph because of the reflections of a shiny penny.

 

Looks to be so sort of planchet plating error!?
wait for others to comment.

 

Oh yea, it could be that too. Its just shiny pennies are so hard to take pics of.

 

Meow I bet your cat senses when crazy of that shinny cent!! If you start shooting spider webs, go see a vet quick!!

 

Lol it isn’t easy! Either the reflection is too bright or I’m blocking the light completely.... I taught myself how to shoot pics of the moon thru my telescope several years ago (pics attached) and it’s pretty similar to that, but still not easy!

 

I also think it is a plating issue. They can't all be perfect.
An improperly plated planchet. Save it for a reference piece.

 

Hard to tell from photos but it looks like a plating issue on a zinc Cent. It's worth the cost of a penny and a flip to keep it.
