Cyborggold New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 7:59 pm I found this penny in my change today and where the 'L' in liberty usually is on the obverse the copper cladding is missing. In the area it's missing there looks to be a piece of another metal embedded into the coin. Also, is this off center enough to be anything of value? Report this Post to the Staff

SdKfz New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 8:53 pm This coin does probably have a peice of metal embedded in the coin, possibly when it was struck. As for the value of the coin...you better ask someone else. Report this Post to the Staff
lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 9:00 pm Obverse appears to be a slight misaligned die. The other areas in question appear to be corrosion caused by zinc exposed through the copper plating. I believe this is a spender Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19171 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 9:21 pm Agree, modest misaligned die. Copper paled is ruptured in spots and zinc rot is setting in. Value is one cent. Report this Post to the Staff
