decadeofchange Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 08/18/2018 6:30 pm Found this 2003 Lincoln Penny with silver spot on Obverse in pocket change. Is the spot the result of some damage after minting? Report this Post to the Staff

silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 08/18/2018 7:50 pm the outline of the edges are too sharp for something to have eaten the copper layer, I suspect something has been laid on top and worked into the coin.. Report this Post to the Staff
