    It’s copper plating that has been peeled away. It also looks like post mint damage.

    Whatever that is its on top of the coin, it is not a lamination error and the coin is worth $.01

    Looks like Elmers glue on the obverse.

    So just giving you my opinion makes me a hater. Got it.

    Just telling you what I see in the photo.

    That’s glue or something similar. PMD

    If you can't see that it is glue on the surface of the coin you may have picked the wrong hobby. ;)

    I would have to concur. :/

    From the photos it is clear that the coin is not missing anything, there is extra material. I can't believe it is not even more obvious in person.

  • FredWeinbergFredWeinberg Posts: 5,671 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The 'whitish/greyish' material is on the the surface
    of the coin, and it was put there after the coin was
    already in circulation.

    It could be old, dried tape.

    it is not an error coin of any kind or type, we're sorry to say.

    You post a pic presumably for opinions before you try to sell it on Ebay, and then you attack as haters those who are trying to correct your mistake in diagnosing the coin?

    It's just tape, isn;t it?

    LMFAO

    Could you explain why the "missing copper" has resulted in shadows forming around the letters?

    If that doesn't peel off with a fingernail, I'll give you $1000 for it.

    Assuming you're not a troll, run your fingernail from the top, above the head down. If you come to a raised edge, it is NOT missing copper. Missing copper would be recessed below the surface of the copper.

    It might be. I was giving it the benefit of the doubt. Either way I think all of us agree it’s not an error coin.

    Looks like tape on the surface of the coin to me too.

    the tape is sticking up too. check in the red area. it will be easy to peel off.

    also, the plating is like less than the thickness of a hair, the detail on Lincoln would still be there on a missing plating.

    Glad to see you acknowledge the inputs given.... The experts here can usually identify issues with good pictures, and they clearly show that is not missing plating. Cheers, RickO
