Quick answer...no. As to what it is, that is a good question, probably some kind of paint.

 

Whats more probable? You've found a penny with some funny gunk on it, or you've a unique silver error?

 

Not silver.

 

It’s nothing I used a knife and it came off thanks

 

On the 1992 penny does the AM have to be together or just closer than others

 

It was aluminum foil. I had this on a few coins too.

 

A 1992 lincoln cent that has a close AM is the rare one you are referring to. You can definitely tell the difference between the two.

 

Yes it was foil it needed more than a tooth pick to take it off thanks

 

That is the Am I was asking about
Mine is not it thanks

 

Way back in elementary school I remember people who would peel the "silver" foil free from a chewing gum cover and press it onto cents. Really thin, stuck well.
