Wenderella2014 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 04/14/2024 12:38 pm I am fairly new to coin collecting but it looks like a 1964 possible penny with a nickel attached or laminate. Please help * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19144 Posts	Posted 04/14/2024 12:46 pm What does the reverse look like? That 'mass' could be dried crud. An accurate wight--to two decimal places--might tell us something. Suggest giving the coin a looooong soak in 100% acetone--could reduce or eliminate that mass (cause it to separate from the coin).

Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1762 Posts	Posted 04/14/2024 2:29 pm @Wenderella2014 Perhaps a "found" coin (metal detector). A good soak in acetone, as previously mentioned, would help clean it up. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 04/14/2024 4:01 pm Post mint damage. Sorry but this is nothing the hobby would collect/value. Most odd looking coins are just post mint damage. A lot of people are mislead by online clickbait videos and tons of worthless ebay auctions wrongly being sold as rare error coins. If you want to find real error coins, you have to first know what real error coins are. Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage, useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, or minor insignificant imperfections (etc.). Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins. :) How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
