Hi All, Hope you all are having a great week so far. I found 2 pennies that I do not know what type of error it is. Can anyone please let me know. thank you! ! I have a 2006 D Penny with some time of die on the nose and outside of the face. And the other coin a 2009 D that has a weird date.
Is it a Die Gouge? I cleaned it with acetone and it is still there. If it is a die gouge. Did I just messed up the coin by putting acetone?
Acetone does not hurt a coin. It can change the color of copper coins, in some cases. Just don't brush or rub the coin. Rinse and pat dry, or just let the acetone evaporate. I personally, don't know what your coin has going on, but probably not a mint error, IMHO.
I believe you are seeing a plating bubble. Since mid 1982, the mint produces cents on zinc with a very thin coating of copper and the coin has so many issues that it isn't even funny. Plating bubbles, blisters, etc. Zinc rot can also cause mis-read issue on the coins. Keep reading and learning. Good luck.
