TheJoker New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 04/12/2021 11:03 pm Found this Penny when going through my change. Looks like it's been double struck on front. Back looks normal to me. Any help identifying what kind of error it is would be very helpful. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/13/2021 09:34 am to the CCF! None of the gouges or scratches seen on this coin could have been caused during the strike. As noted, this is most likely a "Parking Lot Coin." It was face down on the surface that caused the damage while the reverse was in contact with something "soft" like a tire. That's why the reverse is normal. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96800 Posts	Posted 04/13/2021 3:01 pm I had road rash once when I crashed my bike on a wet and oil soaked road made of old dead coral in Bermuda once. My arms from the elbow to my wrist looked a lot like that coin up above. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/13/2021 3:30 pm I had a similar experience I couple years ago when I hit a pothole going down a hill. It ripped through one of my favorite shirts. Knowing what it's like, I don't envy that coin! Report this Post to the Staff
dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 04/13/2021 4:16 pm I too crashed on my motorcycle, quite a long time ago. I pretty much did a swan dive into a railroad track. Not much road trash - but a LOT of broken bones, and several surgery's. Maybe this coin got away pretty easy. Report this Post to the Staff
