jdsstrat Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 03/30/2025 3:10 pm I learned fast that this is the place to come for help identifying not just coins but what has happened to coins. Will someone have a look at this penny and explain? I think I know but wanted to hear it from the resident experts. P.S. I didn't know what I had here until moving it around in the light, an effect I tried to capture with the different pictures below. Report this Post to the Staff
