Pochi New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/27/2019 06:15 am Hey, I'm a pretty new coin collector and I've been looking through a ton of penny rolls looking for goodies. (I've found a ton of wheaties in one box already!) But then I stumbled across this strange thing, I'm not sure if this is a known error or was intentionally hole-punched or such. Would like your expansive knowledge to know! Report this Post to the Staff

Second, yes I agree with the others that these holes, which vaguely form a smiley face, were drilled in this cent after it left the mint.
