Amos334 New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 04/22/2017 12:50 pm I'd like to know what this is. This is a no date penny and it's shaped like a bowl. I don't know what it is. I've been learning about various errors and I still have trouble at times but, idk what the heck is the deal with this coin. Any ideas?

My guess is it was hammer on the reverse, then hit with a sanding belt or orbital sander. Note how they got to the edges of the coin too? Sidewalk won't do that! Report this Post to the Staff
