2007 penny error

Post by SmoochPooch » Mon Apr 24, 2023 7:42 pm

Hello, I have a 2007 penny that has extra dots on it. Unsure if they are strike errors or blisters.

Welcome to the forum.
The 2007 cent is made from copper plated zinc.
Those are what is known as zinc bubbles, a common occurance.
Not an error and adds no value.
In the future, please show a photo of both sides instead of two of the same side.

Sry I didn't post both sides, couldn't remove one pic. Couldn't break the zinc blisters. They seem as hard as the penny itself.

Most likely a plated steel cent.
Possible die chips.
Still no added value.

If the bubbles can’t be depressed, then I agree with TBH,
it is the CPS version and just Die Chips, still fairly common.
