1991 Pennie (BUBBLED) Can this be an error coin ????

[lefthandedjim]

Hello I use a Fisher 1280X. I found a 1991 Pennie that is bubbled.The reverse is in very good condition but the Obverse rim looks to have a mark in it and along his back the coin is tearing.is this a misaligned Die?Notice the dbl rim Looks to also be Struck threw.which may have caused the bubble up.Any help with determining the problem or problems with this coin.

The problem is that it is a zincoln

It may or may not be an error. I'm into error coins and haven't seen one like it. I'll look into some of my books and get back to you on it.

I have found coins like this that have been near hot fires or coals. Found 2 quarters that were near charred wood with both sides bubbled

Could it be one of the trick coins, "Squirting coin" hold under water and squeeze it then let it suck in water then you can squirt people when they look at it...seems like it might be one

Its not an error, a misaligned die would have a plain peice off to one side. A strike through would show Lincoln on the other side or the memorial on Lincolns side. If its tearing it could be someone tampered with it, or it was near a fire. Sorry but it is still a neat find.
