Yes, both coins are damaged, but the damage occurred AFTER leaving the mint. Your coins are worth face value.

 

PMD - Post Mint Damage, after the mint distributed it.

For some reason (think money) everyone wants to attribute all damage to the Mint.

People never think of what can happen after the mint even though ppl may hammer and otherwise abuse coinage all the time.

 

Circulation wear and tear on two 101 year old Cents
PMD - Post Mint Damage.. As stated

Singular - Penny
Plural - Pennies.. Not pennys
(Hope you don't think I'm being rude.. It's just my pet peeve)
