Curious One New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 05/31/2022 2:00 pm I found this 2010 penny with a "mottled" reverse. What if any would this penny be called. New in the coin field so please be kind. Thank you. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Denomination to Title.

It looks like a coin to which something happened to its surfaces after it left the mint - post mint damage - PMD. As already noted, an acetone bath might help to remove the surface contaminants.

But if the obverse is unaffected then that is very unlikely. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
