about sample/non-serialized Copper Penny

[cruelmoves]

Hello friends, it's a pleasure to be part of the forum, recently a very good opportunity appeared, a non-serialized penny copper that could possibly be a sample (the seller informed me that it was a sample), which is leaving me intrigued is on the left there is no marking/serials and on the right I have this mark, I would like your opinion, without a doubt making a comparison it really seems to be legitimate, but what about this issue of marking?

Wrong side. and there are Copper Penny that dont have serial #s All Penny Colorways actually have releases with no Serial. I have seen and own Samples that have the word "sample" engraved exactly the same way as the serial but under the earsock.

yes i know but this mark is on right side, no serial on left side… i think this piece going to warranty because one side is lighter than other… see pics below

Dont see the mark. it looks like a pair of used non serialized penny coppers. If someone is trying to say it cost more because it has marks, I have a bridge to sell you. Oh, and piece of toast with Maria Magdalena.

Ah, yeah that's been pieced together. or really rubbed a lot on one side.

Do you think there was some kind of polishing? Have you seen this before?

Could be anything from minor polishing or oxidation, or being on display with one side getting sun, or someone just changed out the parts when they did a nose bridge tune. or it could have been a damaged pair and they bought another damaged pair and slapped it together and claimed it's a "sample". Personally I would rub the other side with a rubbing compound to see if you can get it to match even out.

The mark on the arm is where the arm was cut off of the casting. Every x metal arm has it. It's just more noticeable on some pairs vs others.
