This is why I am getting so disillusioned with coin collecting...... On average, my boys & I are looking for 3-4 of each coin (P&D mints) each year just to keep our collections current. When one can't find even a single "circulating" coin for most denominations from 2024 (except some Womens Quarters), and several others (halves & dollars) are only available from the Mint, the fun is gone. And who knows if/when/how much $ the 2025's will be? And this is all just chasing modern clads. Given the choice of where to spend "moon money", it would be on silver or to fill semi-key or key holes before current circulation. It just takes all the fun out of what started as a youngster filling holes, and has never been in search of profit.....

I'm going to sit back too, but penniless for now..
Good luck if this is an investment. Nothing wrong with collecting what you like as well.

This may be the wrong forum to ask, I have two 2025 Lincoln Cents with what looks like a strike through error in the same place. Does anyone have a similar coin?
In response to MsMorrisine, no, I am not getting full boxes from anywhere. I only get a few rolls of any denomination (usually mostly quarters) at a time, as I don't have really want to have to go to the other bank to dump so many in their coin counter. And I feel weird these days asking for even 2 rolls of pennies, as WHO uses/needs that many cents these days? I don't really advertise that I'm a collector. So it's usually by trades, luck, family/friends near Denver banks, or relatively new change received from WaWa stores these days. Especially since most purchases are by credit card. Just not like the old days, unfortunately.....

You can request that Lincoln be face up when submitting a "Shield" reverse 1C coin.
I did that last year(request face up) for a 2023 "V" coin...
.
probably gold shield, but not first strike. both are first strike
My coins were also put with the reverse forward. Surely, they will put the "Obverse Forward" if requested. Right?
yes

..Banks can be great resource .. bought 50 rolls of 2009 cents at face .. 16 years ago ..haven't the 2025s yet
you getting full boxes from the bank?
Production figures above are from March 5th.
Below production figures are current.

keep the two together
it's unusually well defined for a strike through. hmmmm
take a full on shot of the other coin without the microscope. post it
They both look the same.
The reverse
I have found many with the same raised area in front of Lincoln's face.
Were these 2 cents end coins or were they found in the wild/0ne of the 48 cents inside the OBW roll?

@JWP these were bought online as P & D mints, random. The seller may not have noticed what he’s got.
The Obvers look like the Coin rolling machine was working on the ring of death on each cent.

too fat of a mark for a coin rolling machine mark
"Cent production and distribution costs have exceeded face value for several years."
Fiat dollars have far exceeded their face value since inception.
Fixed.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
and cents(coins) are implied in fiat dollars!

yeah, i guess it would draw attention to carry even 1 box back to the car. says something about society
