Opinios needed.....

#1 Unread post by 1963lizama »

On a 1984 lincoln penny. Is it worth anything or worth holding on to? All opinions are greatly appreciated. Took it to a coin shop and the man said it was spending money without even looking at it.

It is spending money and worth face value. What about it makes you think it's worth more? If it's the plating bubbles then that is normal and so is the line thought the motto, cents are commonly found with this anomaly.

The line under the ear is probably a plating blister/bubble.

The best way to get help is to start your own topic and post some clear images of the entire coin. Thanks
