Hi everyone, I came across this penny today in change from the grocery store and noticed the mark on Lincoln's head behind his ear. Do you think this is a strike through or just pmd? After putting it under the scope it just seems too clean, for lack of a better word, to be pmd to me. I'm no expert on this though and wanted to seek a better opinion. As always, thanks for any feedback!
I have a different opinion.. Looks interesting to me. Could be a Strike through If it were damage the inner zinc would be exposed.. Area looks plated. A strike through of a foreign object would keep the plating intact even though it created the impression.
