Selva Valued Member Malaysia 69 Posts	Posted 05/27/2026 05:50 am Hi all. This 1970 penny has this particular unknown pattern in front of the Lincoln portrait. Thinking that it could be some dirt or grimes, I washed it with water and yet the pattern remained there. It is slightly raised.Atthe recerse there is also some markings, which I am not sure. Hope someone could help identify it. Will appreciate all your helps. Tq. Report this Post to the Staff

As far as your cent goes, there is nothing there that can be considered an error so it is damage. Exactly what caused it doesn't matter. Report this Post to the Staff
