Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 12/22/2012 04:35 am It's just a guess but I think the 1974 penny has been sand or grit blasted, and the 1945 looks like a lamination error, however I didn't think that would be possible with a 1945 penny.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 12/22/2012 10:21 am The 1974 has been altered by a chemical attack (acid) and is post-mint damage. The 1945 looks like a lamination that peeled off on the reverse, and the 1944 looks like a retained lamination.
