CoinBuffalo Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 3:15 pm I don't think it's a mint error. It was just exposed to a lot of heat that melted the coin after it had already left the mint. So I'd say PMD but others may have differing opinions Report this Post to the Staff
Sharkman Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 3:15 pm To think that poor thing used to be a bright, shiny penny. Looks like it has suffered massive environmental damage. Maybe by being soaked in a vat of acid for several years. If it came from the mint like this, I could never imagine how it got that way. Report this Post to the Staff
Hobiecat New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 3:31 pm I tend to agree but the color seems normal for a circulated coin...weird... Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 4:04 pm It has been heated,not a mint error. It is best to remove coins from whatever holder they are in before taking photos whenever possible. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
