Apears that a piece of tape was on this cent when it was a blank , the tape was removed before the minting process, but the chemicals in the glue reacted with the minting process,  in my opinion.

This 1998 D penny is a unique addition to any coin collection. With a close AM variety and DDR (double die reverse) features, this Lincoln Memorial small cent stands out from the rest. The blue stripe on the coin adds a pop of color to the RD (red) finish.

Certification for this item is uncategorized, and the coin is circulated. Minted in Denver, United States, this business strike type penny has a variety that is sure to impress any coin enthusiast. Don't miss out on the opportunity to add this rare piece to your collection.
