wheatychief Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 04/16/2026 9:28 pm Good evening my coin community friends, I finally asked my sweet partner how to upload photos from my coin microscope onto the computer. He usually does this for me so I know he will be happy. I know yall will be happy too because hopefully these are better quality photos than what I have posted previously.. ;) This is coin is a 1969 Denver minted penny. I have found Retained Cud coins in the past, but never idenified a lamination error.. This coin could have been altered post mint, but I am unsure. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

And I was looking out for the OP - Why spend $7 on acetone to show that a cent is worth a cent just to prove it? - Luckily he seemed to already have the acetone........ Report this Post to the Staff
