    Lincoln penny with 3 dots to left of UNUM

    I have a 1967 Lincoln penny with 3 dots to the left of the UNUM and one dot to the right. All other pennies I have seen, there is just 1 dot on either side. Any value to this rarity?
    Thanks!!

    Welcome to the forum.
    Without a picture it is very hard to say. It could be a die anomaly or some other type of error, or maybe the coin was damaged somehow. Can you get a picture?

      Welcome to the forum.
      Please post a photograph for more detailed information.
      Going by your description, this anomaly could be the result of several different things, none of which would likely add any value to the cent.

            These 2 phantom dots appear to be corrosion spots. A chemical was introduced to the coin at some point.

              Yeah, that's just a stain or corrosion. This is not a die variety or mint error.

                It does look like the so called dots are coincidental gunk, corrosion or staining. Keep up the hunt.
