Cagnos005 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/16/2026 7:08 pm Hi Looking to verify I'm not going crazy. Have a 58 proof penny that when I took it out of brown envelope I thought it was a well scratched coin. When I stuck it under the scope it looks like a complete mess but turning it slowly it almost looks like this coin was struck with something else. I said a nickel because next to 't' in cent looks like a structure going off the coin. but then then I kept looking and I see a patch under the of America and it looks like a well scratched area But if you turn coin a little more you see number 8 and if you turn it more it looks like coin was struck 20x What would you call this mess?

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75322 Posts	Posted 03/16/2026 9:07 pm If it's a proof, then it's impaired with those fingerprints. I would suggest wearing gloves. Don't handle coins with your bare hands, if you can help it. What you're seeing is probably scratches and Pareidolia. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

And 2 those look more like scratches on the cent than they do die polishing lines. So, PMD is correct though! - correct term is an "Impaired Proof" Report this Post to the Staff
