Tony S Valued Member 114 Posts	Posted 11/18/2019 03:42 am Came by this coin in a bottle of a family member. Had to have been there since 1982! Just wondering how this coin got this way, looks like the metal was moved around at high Temps/pressures. I found 2 1982 us pennies that had a similar look that I'll include. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Tony S Valued Member 114 Posts	Posted 11/18/2019 06:40 am How do 2 pennies from 2 different areas of the same date aquire almost identical marks from a parking lot? That's an honest question Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21596 Posts	Posted 11/18/2019 08:47 am "Road Rash" or "Parking Lot Coin" are just terms to identify a badly damaged coin. Unless you were there at the time, it is impossible to say exactly what happened. The important thing is that there is no way that damaged could have happened during the striking of the coin so it is some form of PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
