This penny has straight lines all over (seemingly matching on both sides) and the colour is quite nice. Thoughs? Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 08/04/2022 11:43 pm Looks like a cleaning experiment with vinegar and salt, followed by steel wool or abrasive scrubby sponge. I saw the vinegar and salt thing a while ago and tried it on some pocket change; it gave the coins that same pinkish/orange color. Report this Post to the Staff
