FBodyBill New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/10/2022 8:17 pm Hey everyone I'm new here. I've had this penny forever and just wondering what's going on with it. I always assumed it was post-mint damage but I just don't know. Any input is appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

Can you please post the weight of this coin? Thx.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95630 Posts	Posted 01/10/2022 8:30 pm Is that the true color of the coin? If it is, it looks like solder was melted on it. Collecting since 1972.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19147 Posts	Posted 01/10/2022 9:18 pm It may be solder, it may be a thick (now dried) batch of crud--like old gum or something similar. If you're up for it, try soaking the coin in 100% acetone for a full day or two. Can't hurt. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/11/2022 3:52 pm If it were welded, it would have melt the coin. I agree with solder. That happens a lot on coins. Report this Post to the Staff
FBodyBill New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/11/2022 8:06 pm Thanks everyone I appreciate all the help. I agree, solder seems to make the most sense. I'll hang on to it and weigh it sometime just for the heck of it. I'm just going through my bag of old coins I collected when I was younger and figured I'd get some answers on this one finally.
