Yngwie New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 12:35 am I'm new to the hobby and just searched through my first $25 box of pennies. Hoping for some help identifying this one as it doesn't look like any other 1982 penny I could find. Thought it was a plating issue, but it is copper per the weight (3.1g). There is a silver metal streak on the front left of the penny as shown in the photos. Is this anything special? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34448 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 05:05 am @Yngwie, first welcome to CCF. Second, the filled mintmark is a result of a broken post on the die that was used to strike this coin. It is a fun find but adds no value to the coin.
