Mrichter830 Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 01:54 am Got a bunch of cool error or possible damaged coins from the newest box of pennys. And a lot of cool toned cents. But back to this penny. It looks like mini claw marks. Just curious if anyone can educate me on this. Possible ways it happens or if it's just post mint damage. Reverse is normal. Thank you.

I6609 Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 06:38 am I agree but am surprised that I don't see sum signs of zinc through that damage somewhere? Report this Post to the Staff

This is either damaged and re-plated (unlikely) or the damage occurred to the zinc core prior to the original plating - also unlikely as the subsequent strike would have evened it out some. So ....

Mrichter830 Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 08:28 am Sounds like everyone agrees it's just damage. But there is confusion as to why the zinc isn't showing. Worth investigating further? I'm getting more curious now that y'all mentioned the zinc thing. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 10:10 am I would say to save this one, I'm thinking strike through here. at the edges of these 'gouges' I'm not seeing any wave of displaced metal, nor am I seeing and corresponding lump on the reverse.

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 1:03 pm A Devil horned Lincoln. Interesting. Upon expanding the photo up-close, I think I see a bit of zinc showing through but, it's difficult to tell for sure with all of the luster. I'm beginning to think it is some sort of mint damage prior to the coating being applied. Basically, a Mint oopsie! Edited by dsking 03/14/2023 1:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 1:12 pm Something rounded could not split through the plating. If it were a struck through, then the reverse "CE" would be normal with a full strike. The rims are showing weakness on the reverse. So I'm seeing damage to the coin. Possible wire was used, like a 'E' string from a cut off on a guitar? Report this Post to the Staff
