<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Thomas8474, post: 2345287, member: 77296&quot;]hello new to the forum here. Been into coins ever since I started metal detecting. Found a bunch of nice coins and even found a 1793 US. Chain cent, but unfortunately I had to sell it a couple years back..I think you can see the coin on google images on a metal detecting forum I posted it on.</p><p>But I found a 1980 error strike or what I believe is and error strike. First one I ever found since I started to look through my change. Don&#039;t know anything about error strike really though that&#039;s why I&#039;m still on the fence on this coin, could be a melted coin on it or something. I noticed from the bottom of the R straight down to the date it has some sort of glossy finish on it and feels like a polished rock. And the gray spot the the right of the date and on the N, not sure if it&#039;s acid striped from a splash or if coating wasn&#039;t put on ( not sure of that term ) it doesn&#039;t seem it&#039;s the zinc it eaten away like I find some in the groun since I can clearly still see the N. Thought it was pretty neat..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
