Scruffyknox New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/05/2019 3:46 pm Hello, I received this 2015 penny change today, and I have never seen one like this. I took the best pictures I could in the car. Can anyone tell me what may have happened to it? It does not look like it was intentionally damaged. The playing is missing all the way around the reverse, and the reverse is missing most of the bevel. The coin is also noticably thinner on one edge but does not appear to have been struck by anything. Any info would be wonderful! Report this Post to the Staff

Scruffyknox New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/05/2019 5:26 pm I thought so when I first saw it, but there are no scratch marks and it looks more like the plating was removed somehow. I'm just curious what was done to it. Report this Post to the Staff

The copper plating could have been chemically stripped off of the front of the coin, but it looks like the rev was sanded. Perhaps not with a sidewalk because of the lack of deep scratches, but rather with fine grit sandpaper. As noted above it is all damage of one sort or another.
