Undiscovered 1998 D Lincoln Cent Mint Error?

#1 Unread post by ChrisDawg73 »

Came across this penny this morning, could not find a known error of this type. It appears to me that the die may have been damaged when it was struck. Look at the right side of the steps under the vase, they go up to the right instead of straight. Was looking for some expert advice, is this a mint error, or post mint damage?

Hello. Thanks for posting. I see no Error here and as you say, possibly PMD. Other than that, I see really nothing wrong here. :think:

Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don’t learn the coin hobby backwards.
 :)
Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage or useless machine doubling, die deterioration, etc.

Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like.

A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins. :)
