1989 1 Cent Error???

[Jadunlap]

Hello guys once again with a question, i have found this penny in my pocket change, and am wondering if it is just me or if it is an error.

 

I have come across one of these from 1987-1989 All Philies.

 

 

1989 Error

 

Please give me your insight to this oddity.

It's really hard to tell by the pic. I see some sort of flaw going around the edge, but can't see it good enough to tell what it is. Can't tell if it may be filled around the letters, or some type of machinery scrape. Also, you mentioned this was pocket change, it may be some type of rolling machine mark when the lincoln was rolled at one point. Ain't no telling actually how many times this cent may have been rolled in a wrapper.

I can't tell from the photo, either. Does it appear to be raised above the surface? If not, it probably is from a wrapping machine.

It was struck from a worn die. These are very common for the years 1987-1989.

No, it won't help. AegisIII is correct - worn die. Unofrtunately, these are not really worth anything because they are so common.
