I have a 1977 Lincoln Penny with NM. It weighs 2.88 grams. Could this be Delamination on Observe and Reserve? It's " flaking" on Reserve but not as severe as the Observe. It has roller lines on both sides. Any input is greatly appreciated! Thank you!      |

Just a badly damaged and corroded coin. PMD. Not an error. Errers and Varietys.

Your photos are showing 2 different color combinations. Which one is true to life? Is it the silvery version?.if so, could be a formerly plated cent, that has partially peeled off.  |

The true color is the top 2. The other pics are with the flash on the camera.

@Jessica_1978 -  As Tacc says, perhaps a plated or lacquered coin with peeling. A lot of parallel scratches on obverse. PMD |

I think that Abe had a bad acid trip.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

The Reserve has them too at the word Cent. I thought they were Roller Lines on both sides.
