Mikdorg New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 03/11/2022 6:32 pm I'm new to coin hunting and came across this penny. It looks like the zinc was pulled off and got stuck to die then stamped opposite side and left imprint of E's and part of C. I'm not familiar to the process of coin stamping. Here are some pictures that I tried getting. Some are with my phone then I also took pictures of my coin magnifying screen. Sorry about quality. Report this Post to the Staff

It is a common method of removing things such as glue I soak most of mine after I receive them to remove any oil or residue Just make sure it is covered and in a well ventilated area. Correct typo Edited by JimmyD 03/11/2022 7:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Mikdorg New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 03/11/2022 7:10 pm Ok, I'll soak it and see what happens. Not sure how anyone could remove zinc with just glue though. If it doesn't come off then what does that tell me? Report this Post to the Staff
