chadcoins Pillar of the Community Canada 1159 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 12:44 pm Found this 1982 penny with a very strange strike. It weighs 2.5 grams and both sides have the same finish. Comments what do you think happened here. Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 12:56 pm Could it be zinc dust under the copper plating? It seems to kind of have that textured look to it. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 1:13 pm Looks like a VLDS (Very-Late-Die-State) example. On the reverse the missing devices are from a Struck Through Grease issue. No premium for this example as 54% of them look like that when they reach that die state. But you could save it for an Education piece to show the die state and a Struck Through Grease issue. (no premium for this though) Report this Post to the Staff
Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 1:37 pm Struck Through Grease for the missing letters on the reverse, the rest of what you are seeing on the surfaces is from a very worn die issue, and 2.5g is the proper weight for a copper plated zinc cent.
