Found this in a coin roll. I had no idea this is how a coin is constructed with gridwork.

I was thinking it would be a solid piece, but I guess it's built in layers.

Looks like a cupholder coin to me. Black goo, with imbedded cupholder pattern, on Abe.

with nfine. Some type of glue, adhesive, wax or something melted on the coin with an embedded pattern of something. It's not a part of the coin.

Could be a grid pattern imprinted in a thin layer of epoxy resin, that is sticking to the coin.

Give it a very long soak in acetone.

Lol, no. This is just a filthy coin with a grid-mark imprinted into the grime. The zinc core of a penny is just a normal rolled sheet of solid metal.

Yes, crud stuck to the coin--a portion of the crud has captured a pattern. Planchets do not have an underlying grid-like core/substructure.
