Just opened a box of pennies and this was one of the first things that I saw when looking over the enders... Is this a die clash that has also been double struck or struck like 50%ish off center? I'm pretty sure it's real since the image isn't sunk into it like a vise job... Anyhow I'm curious to everyone's thoughts or opinions... As always I do appreciate any feedback on this coin... Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 04:58 am My guess is a cup holder coin, looks like someone spilled pop or something and several other coins left an impression on the coin, you can see where the letters go across Lincoln's face and they are mirrored much like you would see on a vise job. An acetone soak would most likely get rid of the gunk. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 06:39 am Not an error in any way, no matter what caused it, it is PMD. Not worth the effort to soak it in acetone as it would still only be worth 1 cent Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 08:10 am yep semi clear (amber) glue residue when another cent was attached to this one. A nice Acetone soak should remove it. Or leave it because it looks cool Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 08:58 am Not worth the effort to soak, in my opinion. A post mint damaged coin, no mint error, no big payday. Keep searching! Report this Post to the Staff
