[QUOTE="MoonOnAString, post: 3184434, member: 97958"]Hey there everyone. I've been lurking a while but I figured I should post a thread about this unusual penny of mine. I like to do coin roll hunting, and at a bank stop a few months ago I only grabbed a couple penny rolls since I was low on cash (I usually like to get the $25 boxes). And in the second roll, this is the first penny I find. I look at every coins I get in my hands for errors, but I only pause for anything that can be noticed at a quick glance. I don't want to be the person who thinks every damaged coin is an error. But this one obviously stood out. :wacky: The reverse of the penny is almost all absent, except for a circular area in the center. The penny otherwise looks mainly normal. There are marks in the empty area, but I don't know if they're tool marks or just from normal circulation. My guess is that this was either struck through a washer (hence the circular area still showing), or somebody was bored/feeling artsy after the fact. What do you folks think? I hope the phone pics I took are sufficient. If not I can get out my camera.
