Rascal, I am seeing the damage in every single picture of this coin. Note that the OP has posted 2 different coins in the thread...both 1941 cents...
Looks like damage...where there is a cavity on the reverse, there appears to be a corresponding bulge in the same area on the obverse.
Well, they got exactly what they bid for. They can't say that the listing was misleading because besides those end coins, they still got a full...
It's a scam. They seed the roll with good end coins, junk in the middle...one of the oldest coin tricks on ebay.
Doesn't look like a clash...looks like something stuck to the coin...
F12 details, VF30 details, F15 details. The 2nd coin is a bit washed out so I can't quite tell the amount of detail on the obverse.
Couldn't have said it any better myself, Bill. :) I myself am far from the experts that post and are mentioned here, but I do know enough to know...
Post-mint damage (just another way of saying that the coin was damaged after it was struck, and is not an error)
Where do you get these coins from? They are pretty darn mangled, which I feel will definitely take away from value one way or another... :(...

We are not doubting that class VI doubled dies exist...we are saying that your coin is not a class VI doubled die. It doesn't share the exact same...
That is really cool, Mike. Thanks for sharing. Do you know where I can find photos of similar examples?
It appears to be a coin plated post-mint, which would make it a form of PMD, or "Post-mint damage".
You don't see the huge curved gash that goes through the middle of the coin? That definitely looks like damage...
The 1969-S lincoln cent IS a doubled die. There is also a large difference between a double/triple struck coin and a doubled die. A double strike...
I'm not seeing any clear evidence of notching on this one...
Can you tell if the word LIBERTY is raised or incuse? Something doesn't look quite right...
It could have been cleaned a long time ago when cleaning a coin was viewed as a normal and non-harmful practice.
I'm more of a numismatist than a collector...doing actual research and understanding the significamt of certain coins, varieties, etc. is just as...
For some reason when I sound it out it doesn't flow as well...but maybe that's just me... :)
