gabrielgabbey New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 12/24/2023 7:24 pm I came across a a 1984 penny that has been in circulation for a while, but the die cracks and delaminated on both sides makes this a curious coin. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 12/24/2023 8:16 pm Oh, I do not know, I kinda like the way the zinc is eating away the coin that look makes me hungry for pizza and the different shades of grey reminds me of early morning fog, best of all the scratches and hit marks resembles markings in the sand made by a baby. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so if you find this coin beautiful as I do, then keep it. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/25/2023 04:07 am Honestly, if I came across that coin searching coins it would have gone right in the return pile without using my loupe on it. Even if it was a variety or an error with all the damage on it would be a waste of time to examine it. Also, a few too many photos.As a general rule;one full coin photo front and back and one or two close ups. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
