Littlemg2 Pillar of the Community United States 552 Posts	Posted 02/23/2025 01:38 am well I was looking in my coin book to see if 08 had something I wasn't familiar with. Could that be a Satin Finished Penny? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95018 Posts	Posted 02/23/2025 08:10 am I'm uncertain as to why Lincoln and the memorial are so shiny, maybe the high devices were polished up There is a possibility of a satin finish coin that was released from an uncirculated set of that year.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/23/2025 08:58 am Agree with Dearborn. My best guess is that someone decided to have fun in their garage and polished good ole Abe.
