penny error? (usa)
I stumbled across this unusual penny. The rim of the edges are silver
and there are spots here and there on the face where there is silvering. Is this an error of any kind? It seems very clean and even to have been simply scratched away. I did some research online but nothing encountered seemed to fit this particular penny. I took some scans: http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g2...misc/penny.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g2...isc/penny3.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g2...isc/penny2.jpg I'd appreciate any insight the group could provide.

It looks to me as if someone put a file to the coin and abraded off the copper coating on the rims and high points of the design, exposing the zinc core. Mr. Jaggers
