Anyone have an idea?

It's all raised so it looks like solder was placed on the coin and then it circulated for a long time causing what you see. It's not a mint error.

Edit to correct spelling.

 

Thank you!

Off to the copper penny bucket it goes

 

Please wait for other responses. After collecting coins for 60 years I do make mistakes.

Looks like someone forgot to 'cinch' the staples down. Only takes a minute with a pair of 'needlenose'........

 

Got it!

I hope you're not saving copper pennies for the day when it becomes legal to melt them for their copper content. ~ Chris

 

Only when I find some.

 

What good does it do to lead a horse to the library when it can't read? ~ Chris

 

Sometimes the horse needs the exercise and audiobooks Jim

 

Well, I have NO idea what @cpm9ball and @desertgem are saying. Can someone fill me in??? Or are they just the cool kids on the block?

 

Hole filler for your Lincoln book. You won’t see the reverse anyhow. The S mint marks at that age are almost impossible to find roll hunting. I have to get them in rolls at auctions.

 

We've had a lot of discussions on these forums explaining why saving pennies for their copper is a losing proposition. You might want to read some of them. ~ Chris

 

Cool! Why not just state that then, I haven’t been around here all that long?

 

Because I was hoping that we might discover a horse that could read. ~ Chris

 

lol

 

Boy I could have some real fun here, but I don't want to alienate anybody.....

 

Go for it, Ken! ~ Chris
