What is going on in bay 11?

1998 Penny. Nice die crack that doesn't appear to touch the rim. But the last bay?

The die crack.



And some cool MD on the initials.

 

@Coppertop? Are you sure that line is recessed? It looks awfully straight for a die crack. No? I have no idea what is going on in the Bay except PMD.

 

If it were a scratch, it would go over top of everything, which it does not. Weird that it fallows the angles of the other markings. The last photo doesn't look like the crack, but impression lines of some sort. All very parallel to one another. The bay markings don't go over the columns, couldn't be damage. I don't know. Anyone else seen this before?

 

I can’t tell but could it be a clash from the obverse?

 

Quite sure the lines are Die Scrapes from the feeder fingers.

Yes, that is it. Die Scrapes. Thank you so much! Nice to learn new things!

 

From the title, I thought we were gonna see some new tools at Home Depot.

 

I was talking about PMD.

 

So, since the die was scratched, is it an error coin?

 

Guessing kinda. Like a keeper

 

I will try to see if it is or not. Thanks.

 

No. It is a form of Die Damage.
