    I originally thought this penny was sanded down, but the edges aren't worn like the rest of the penny. Does anyone know what happened to this penny?

    Possible dryer coin.
    Hard to tell with zinc because they self destruct in 10 seconds.

    I'll go with stuck in a dryer. Zinc coins are terrible.
