<p>[QUOTE=&quot;i2i, post: 3506275, member: 102748&quot;]The 1980 penny that I found has flattening of devices on the obverse and of &quot;E Pluribus&quot; on the reverse. The dots between the E and P are very flat, as well as those on both sides of &quot;unum&quot;. But it doesn&#039;t seem like it could be &quot;wear&quot; because it doesn&#039;t affect all surrounding lettering, or &quot;unum&quot; that much. Although, features on the memorial building are missing.</p><p>Wear is not likely the cause.</p><p>I did find a potential explanation of water pump as the cause due to excessive spinning. The edges are a bit more rounded.</p><p>I didn&#039;t find much else. However, I did find a similar, but much worse, penny from a 2 year old post in a different group.</p><p>They thought acid or dryer. Both are not likely.</p><p>Interestingly, that coin is also a 1980.</p><p>Both are pictured below...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]929918[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]929919[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]929920[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]929921[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
