I saw an article date Sept 8, 2023 regarding the 1988 Bubble Penny named the "Lincky Pox Penny" by your staff submitted by Mr. JahShuWah inquiring about the errors on Obv and Rev sides of the penny, the letter "D" mint stamp was odd and the columns seemed to be melted. He was told back then that the errors could be man made or a quality control issue that occurred during minting from 82 until 90's and those penny where only worth face value, the individual who told him was partially correct. While true a majority where face value, a few were missed that are truly rare and the one he provide for grading was one of only a handful with almost identical errors that made it out into circulation. When I saw your article and the penny my jaw dropped because I found a similar penny back in 1999 but couldn't find any reference regarding it not untill I saw your article yesterday. This isn't a human error but a minting error and should be corrected. After all this is "What Coin Collecting is all about finding that one in a Million even the experts missed it. The 1988 "Lincky Pox Penny" A Diamond in the Rut. Please correct this error and bring back the excitement of Coin Collecting for a new generation.
