Hey guys, I came across this penny from 1991 no mint mark. There are so many dots and a couple of die breaks. The coin has a super rainbow tone to it. Are all these dots at the mint or is this caused by some weird experiment? Any advise is appreciated!     |

The dots are a plating problem the mint has. It is trapped "dust" between the copper plating and the zinc core. John1  |

Lol, it's ugly. Although I believe the toning is natural.
Is this worth anything?

I got lucky the other day from my bank they had $40 worth of pennies.
On this batch I found quiet a few US pennies. 2 wheats thus far and this coin was in the roll.

You're lucky they gave those out to you. Most won't as they are not supposed to.

Yeah didn't think much of it except the bad job at the mint production.
Thanks for the input!
