Unique bubble error 1982 Lincoln penny cent RB

Description: THIS LISTING IS IN ERRORS AND LINCOLN MEMORIAL CATEGORIES. IT IS THE SAME COIN **Unique bubble error 1982 Lincoln Penny Cent - RB** Note: Holder provided by us to protect coin. **Please check description below:** This 1982 Lincoln penny features a unique bubble at the end of "IN GOD WE TRUST" with the letters 'ST' and part of the rim inside the bubble. The bubble appears as if a drop of water rests on the letters, but it is made of the same metal as the coin, seemingly resulting from a strike error. The coin was sent to NGC for grading, and their verdict was "DAMAGED TO RESEMBLE ERROR." While we are not experts in numismatics, we have some observations: 1. How could a human intentionally create such a perfect metal bubble?2. When examining the coin from the edge, it appears slightly shifted, suggesting: "Something struck it with precise, even pressure from both sides."3. The reverse side of the coin does not show a variation like the bubble on the obverse, indicating a more powerful force was necessary to create the bubble.4. If the intent was to create the bubble, why does the strike extend further? Possible Mint Errors: Die Error: A die error can cause raised areas or bubbles on the coin if the die was damaged or had debris on it during the striking process.Planchet Error: If the planchet (the blank metal disc) had impurities or was improperly prepared, it could result in raised areas or bubbles after striking.Lamination Error: If the metal layers of the planchet did not properly bond, it could cause a raised area or bubble on the coin surface.Characteristics of the Bubble (from ChatGPT):Bubble on 'ST': The bubble or raised area near "ST" in "TRUST" suggests a minting anomaly rather than post-mint damage. Given that it would require significant force to replicate outside the minting process, this is likely an authentic mint error. Thank you for taking the time to check out this unique wonder. ****IMPORTANT READ BEFORE PURCHASE**** If coin has been purchased and you need to return it, contact us prior to receive instructions for the return.
