sale4coin Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 01:50 am Hi There, I have this penny and it looks like a possible lamination error don't know how else to describe it. I checked the forum before. I have 3 links with confirmed laminations. http://goccf.com/t/324054 http://goccf.com/t/229101 http://goccf.com/t/328342 But I am still new and don't know how to describe this particular coin.

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 01:54 am Hm. This is a strange one. The coin's been cleaned pretty harshly, did you clean it? Doesn't have that typical flakiness that laminations normally have. I'm voting no but I'm not 100% sure. Report this Post to the Staff
sale4coin Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 03:04 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 03:12 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 05:11 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 10:05 am I'm with Keith12. It does have that appearance. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 10:06 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff
Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 2:08 pm Can you tell if that is raised from the surface? Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5803 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 7:47 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
sale4coin Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 8:03 pm If I dip the penny in acetone, will it damage the penny? Also what would be the exact process ? Report this Post to the Staff
