<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nickidawn, post: 26195256, member: 147841&quot;]I’ve been doing amateur coin collecting for about 20 years. in the last year or so I started taking it more seriously. after a first getting a jewelers loupe I got a magnifying microscope and magnifying eyeglasses. those things helped a lot. Still, it is sometimes very hard for me to distinguish post mint damage, from an error. it makes sense that if a lot of the coin looks mangled, that it’s likely damage. That’s my way of thinking anyway. sometimes I come across coins that just look a bit different. This one 1966 Lincoln penny no mint mark, looks like there is possibly some lettering on the rim. I read on a coin forum once that one way to sometimes tell the difference between damage, is if it is a raised area rather than an indented area, it is more likely to be an error, but I’m sure that isn’t always the case. Here are a couple of photos. I just wanted to see what you guys think. Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>1966 </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1672536[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1672537[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1672538[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>1962-D</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1672539[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1672540[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
