Dollface510 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 11:48 pm Looks like a chip came out and got smashed back in (reverse) but can't tell if it's post mint or not..? But it's a neat penny to say the least. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

MOS0239 Pillar of the Community 1110 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 11:55 pm Yep, congrats! It's a real mint error. Looks like a lamination peel. Don't pick at it! Does it look like the metal is peeled back? EDIT: The peel part may have happened after it left the mint. Edited by MOS0239 01/18/2021 11:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/19/2021 7:17 pm Invest in a pair of inexpensive cotton gloves available from anywhere that sells hobby supplies. As Chase mentioned above, oils from you fingers can harm surfaces of your coins. Photograph your coins by laying them down flat on a solid surface, then shoot them from directly overhead. You'll find this method easier than trying to hold your coins as well. Report this Post to the Staff
