I found this 1978 penny that I cant make sense of. It is kind of funny. Well you tell me. I'm new to the coin collecting world. I dont know if this some kind misstrike or what? But I assume it is from the mint since the D is crooked. I would appreciate and information of the cause and if it has a greater value.  *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Almost looks like a counterstamp but I can't make out an image. Regardless, I'd say post strike damage.

Weight? Looks like some kind of PMD. Maybe thick acid of some kind? Need much better pics and the weight would help also. John1 |

@CMR, your second set of pics is very good, but a close up of one of the affected areas would be useful as noted above. Fundamentally, one thing that we are trying to understand is whether the coin has some weird surface staining, or as it kinda looks like, the field of the coin is no longer flat. Those kinda look like contour lines on a topographic map, which is very odd.

Maybe an epoxy or a resin or glue on the coin?

To CCF! Definitely Post Strike Damage ( PSD). Probably some type of residue, maybe glue? Errers and Varietys.

Yes those pictures are even better @CMR, but could you please comment as to the surface condition too? "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
