Well if we are being honest, I saw that and just rubbed the penny in my shirt to see if it would come off. But it still stayed there.

Okay you didn't really clean it then, I'm presuming someone else did, or the environment just caused it to look like that.
I'd wait for the replies of others for them to say their opinions.

I do not think it is a LAM, looks like something "on" the coin. In future posts, please crop photos properly before posting...thanks. John1  |

Not lamination. Never a lamination will occur like this. I can wrote pages to explanation of the lamination or impurities in the alloy, but this do not meet the symptoms.

Lamination runs in a straight line. This looks like as mentioned, a rub off of something that coated that are, and some residue is still remaining. Looks just like a normal Wheat cent. |

Can you tell if that is raised from the surface?

Glue or residue of some kind? I vote for soaking in acetone and see if it comes off.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

If I dip the penny in acetone, will it damage the penny?
Also what would be the exact process ?

100% Acetone is fine for copper coins, sealed glass jar since we are dealing with a flammable liquid and away from any source of spark or flame...A coin like this could soak for up to 2 days with no noticeable change in appearance...With 82 and up zinc cents 20 minutes to an hour max after that coin will/could turn black...Use the search box it holds unlimited amount of info....Did you try it on my search suggestion on your 1944 LWC posted on 3/12?
