Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 07/21/2023 06:29 am @tash, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that all of that smeared metal is just due to mechanical damage. This cent may have spent some time in a parking lot being run over by cars.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/21/2023 4:12 pm to the CCF One of the first things to learn is that when you have a coin that has cuts, gouges, or scratches on it along with a corresponding buildup of metal, 99.99% of the time it's just damage. Second thing is not every little thing you see on a coin is an error. There a millions of ways damage can occur compared to the way an error occurs. This site is a very good place to learn the difference. Report this Post to the Staff
