Numismatiac Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 11/14/2020 9:46 pm Hi! I recently found this coin while penny roll hunting, have any of you see this before? There are patterns on the reverse of the penny that I thought indicated a lamination error. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/15/2020 02:02 am I'm not sure exactly what happened to it, but I don't think it's a lamination issue.

norantyki Valued Member 404 Posts	Posted 11/15/2020 05:10 am Maybe some sort of beach coin? The reverse certainly looks to have the graininess - maybe it was pinned between shifting sand, and something abrasive? Either way, the discolouration on the top of the obverse seems to indicate some form of environmental damage. Report this Post to the Staff
