mabarker New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 11/11/2024 3:53 pm I have been searching through all my coins I have saved for over 40 years. I have hundreds of Lincoln pennies that I have looked through and found this one. I can't find anything else like this error online. It is a 1971 Lincoln and weighs approximately 3.10 grams. It is off center, but it is the perfect arc and the color differences, I am wondering about. Neither side of the arc colors are raised. The errors are on the obverse and reverse. Any thoughts?

mabarker New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 11/11/2024 5:19 pm Did the staining occur during the minting process or after, or does it matter? I have a lot of stained pennies, but nothing like that. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17908 Posts	Posted 11/11/2024 6:14 pm Maybe it was lost with other coins from someone's purse or pocket, and got buried or left outside for s while. Other coins overlapping it protected parts of it from environmental damage. Sometimes I've found three or four coins together with my metal detector and coins in the middle of the 'clump' have been partially protected by the other coins, leaving marks similar to those on this cent.
