<p>[QUOTE=&quot;superc, post: 1732238, member: 44079&quot;]I open the roll this afternoon and start going through the pennies one at a time with my magnifier to sort them, wheat, copper, post 1982.&nbsp; I hit the one shown.&nbsp; I had to do a lot of playing with light angles to make Liberty and the 199x show up at all in the photo.&nbsp; They are very weak.&nbsp; Note also the weakness extends across Lincoln&#039;s coat and tie.&nbsp; The penny reverse seems normal and sharp.&nbsp; Even with a 16x magnifier we could probably debate all day as to whether or not the final digit is a 6, a 7 or an 8.</p><p><br /></p><p>What strikes me is this is a plated zinc penny, but the plating is still there which to me means this is not the result of a post mint grinding (as I would suspect with a pre 1982 penny).&nbsp; So I am thinking it is an error coin of some kind.&nbsp; My speculation would be something interfered with the strike.&nbsp; Spend it or sell it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
