PennyPuncher New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 09/19/2021 4:02 pm Hello all. I found this 1955 penny while back and my research indicates that this is possibly a major Striking Error. I've seen other images of coins with this error name that look similar to these images. Any thoughts here? Is something like this worth anything? * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 09/19/2021 4:56 pm Is this the coin you meant to post? I'm seeing a 1947, not 1955. Coinfrog is correct, this is just damaged. Similar patterns can be created by (de)laminations, but that would just result in lost metal without expanding the coin's diameter and also wouldn't appear on both sides like this. The displaced metal beyond the coin's normal size means that the metal was squeezed out after it was struck. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Pillar of the Community United States 4267 Posts	Posted 09/19/2021 10:12 pm Yes it does appear to have been partially dunked into an acid of some sort a long time ago Collecting since 1972.
