LaureateBust Valued Member Canada 331 Posts	Posted 10/19/2013 6:58 pm I returned from a trip to my local coin shop with a couple of 2012 CPZ penny rolls this weekend. I spotted a couple of abnormal rims and bought both rolls. Anyone want to hazard guesses about how these pennies were damaged before I free them from their mint plastic wrap? In the first roll the damaged penny appears to be slightly elongated on the side opposite that shown. In the second, the damaged penny shows undulation over most of its circumference.

LaureateBust Valued Member Canada 331 Posts	Posted 10/19/2013 10:41 pm Well, the first penny is not as interesting as I had hoped. Looks like it got pinched some time between strike and sausage casing. Report this Post to the Staff

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 10/19/2013 11:35 pm Considering they came out of mint wrap they are kind of interesting, especially the first one. Report this Post to the Staff

coinzchange Valued Member Canada 174 Posts	Posted 10/21/2013 01:25 am Nice pics! The good thing is you have the pictures to prove those were in the roll. Still a neat rarity for the last year of the penny! Report this Post to the Staff
LaureateBust Valued Member Canada 331 Posts	Posted 10/21/2013 2:09 pm Thanks, guys! Does anyone feel the damage to coin #1 could have happened pre-strike, or even pre-plating, i.e., a deformed planchet? I would have thought that a normally struck penny receiving a heavy and rough squeeze on the rim post-strike would show some of the zinc core. Report this Post to the Staff
