Looks like damage to me no error that I can see wait for more to chime in.

 

It looks like it was found in a parking lot.

 

That also

 

Looks like it was damaged to me.

 

I'm on his boat , sorry . have a great night

 

Its all raised metal I think its a lamination error

 

For the most part. Plated zinc cents have plating issues not laminations, last i heard ZLincolns cannot have laminations. We might have to talk to @paddyman98 about that.

Your coin looks damaged. Can you take some closer images of the coin. Crop out the un necessary background?

 

It weighs 2.2 I believe the front is partial damage theres like a die crack above liberty and the back is raised metal it dnt come off

 

Sorry, but it looks like damage. Definitely everything I can see on the obverse is damage, most likely hit by a car in the road. The picture is not clear on the reverse, but it looks like that was the side that was pushed into a hard surface. I find the difference between the colors on the obverse and reverse interesting, as if it lay on that road or parking lot long enough for the up side to be exposed more to the elements than the down side. Also, although it is not obvious, you mention it is all raised. If it were hit hard enough, the plating could have detached from the underlying zinc and given a raised look. If so, I would expect some give when given a gentle push. I am certainly no expert, so this may be totally wrong, although as a bicyclist I have seen a great many road-kill cents.

 

And the front is old looking like a 1982 penny would be and the back is shiny like a 2020 penny should be

 

Good night all. Thanks

 

Its weird that a 2020 penny looks that old in the front n shiny in the back and theres a bunch of circles on the back that are sunk in

 

And part of the rim is chipped off on the bottom

 

Where did you find it ?

 

Just damaged

 

Thanks for the better photos. Environmental damage has no set outcomes. That one surely has been damaged.

 

Looks like damage to me. The difference in color means nothing. One side could of been sitting in a cars cup holder for some time in spilled liquids.
