1985D Lincoln penny. With gas bubbles. Is it a error and maybe worth if it a rare error?

Actually just as common with plating bubbles as without.

The cent has plating blisters/bubbles. Neat to look at but no added value. Maybe keep one as a reference coin. http://www.error-ref.com/blisteredplating/
Some more good reference material for you to read.
Welcome to coin collecting. Enjoy and have fun!

@Timbobb .... Welcome aboard. Your cent has no added value (as stated above)...S mint coins, like other mints, may or may not be worth saving....You need a Redbook to begin your coin education... plus, this forum and other websites will also help. Good luck, Cheers, RickO

Gas bubbles are best treated with Tums.
Your best advice is here otherwise. WELCOME!!

The fact that someone is trying to find a "live one" who will be willing to pay $200 for such a coin is both sad and laughable at the same time.
