cutebird New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 11/10/2020 11:04 pm Hello all, going through a roll of new pennies I found this odd one where it looks like it might have a D next to the D. At certain angles it looks like there might even be two D (one offset to the west, but straight up and down, the other offset to the west and rotated counterclockwise). Or it might be a splotch. Anyway, tried to get a few angles and light-looking for your opinions! Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

If it is flat with the surface of the coin, then it is surface staining. If it protrudes up above the surface of the coin then it likely is the zinc core starting to deteriorate. Either way this one is a spender.

cutebird New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 11/12/2020 12:44 am Thank you! Everyone is so helpful....I am not sure but yes, there are some marks next to the D in GOD also...I will take a look at my camera. I'll look at the marks next to GOD and if they look interesting I'll post a pic. This was the only interesting coin out of the bunch. They almost all had water marks. Is that just something to be left alone? Or can they be removed without it considered damaging the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
