I found 2 1982-D lincoln cents with many strange errors. Looks like D's thrown around at random. mintmark looks like triple stamped. There's die clashes and strange stuff all over. Was wondering if this was a failed forgery, what do you think?

The coin is merely damaged.Wendell Carper

I was asking if this coin was an attempt at forging it to be a valuable coin. Like maybe they added a D but scrambled a few around. Those look like D’s to me. So it’s just a badly damaged coin ok. I’m new and trying to learn and I know it’s not a bird or a planeComment

The intentions of the damaging party are unknown. I don't see any reason why someone would attempt to carve additional D's on the coin, and I think them appearing as such is pareidolia.Wendell Carper

Its an early year zinc probably. Those are way too small to be "D's", in my opinion. More than likely they are gas bubbles from plating issues that either erupted or the damage on the coin sheered them off. In any event, its post-mint damage (PMD) and holds no additional value
