Og_cujo33 Valued Member Canada 109 Posts	Posted 12/25/2017 12:45 pm Hello everyone , Wanted to wish everyone Merry Christmas and happy Holidays. So I was at my parents house and I found my unsearched pennies that I hid for like 20 years and I just found it in her garage. Found one of these coins but not sure the year...and these kinda errors are common and are they worth keeping ? Thanks everyone Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 12/25/2017 1:52 pm I'd say acid but rims are there. It is trying to mimic a double grease-filled strike, but is a modified coin, not a strike error, the rims are too messed up. Think drops of acid applied to center of both sides.

Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 12/25/2017 5:05 pm The cent appears to be a " Dryer Coin". Damaged from tumbling of some sort. Merry Christmas! Report this Post to the Staff
rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 12/25/2017 6:03 pm Og_cujo33 question on the second image. what is that blueish metal on the left side of the coin. I am just curious is this a plated steel core Canadian penny. the reason I as is because the 12 sided penny. I did not think had a steel core. Og_cujo33 if this is a steel core. check it with a magnet. if it is magnetic let the members here know. Report this Post to the Staff

johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1622 Posts	Posted 12/25/2017 11:20 pm Weight's in line with an '82 to '96 penny weight (and 12-sided). I agree with Scissel; Dryer Coin. Report this Post to the Staff
