What is this?

Anyone know what the circular line throughout this 86 Lincoln cent is?

Those are nice, clear pictures, Chucky. Can I see one in that quality of the edge? Just hold it sideways.

BTW, you're in the wrong room on this, this is the Contests forum. But we'll give you a pass this time since you're rather new.

 

I'm so sorry, I thought I clicked on coin errors my apologies and yes I'll take a pic, but can you show me an example of what you'd like to see? How to hold the coin?

 

Just take a shot of the edge, I want to see if it was encased. There's no special way to hold it.

 

This ok?

 

Ask a moderator to move it for you. Pm @GDJMSP and tell him what you did and which forum you want it in.

 

I don't know what that means? How do I pm someone

 

PM - Private or Personal Message

 

Got reported, got moved, got done.

 

Sorry again guys, my apologies

 

To answer the original question, it is a form of die deterioration. Not an error, just a worn die.
