Selva Valued Member Malaysia 69 Posts	Posted 02/11/2026 1:22 pm HI and good day to all.1996 D penny. Coin looks mint or at least AU. Some DDO is noticeable in the date and on Liberty though am not sure. Reverse is with a big patch of missing copper plating. Wonder the missing copper plating is a minting error or altered. Will appreciate your opinions and thoughts.Thank you Report this Post to the Staff
