[QUOTE="Kipling79, post: 7590909, member: 103928"]I have what I think is a 1948 Large Cent, which might be a N-33 (this is the closest Newcomb I could find when eliminating about 34 other varieties that have images available online). If it is a rarer variety, I might get it graded, but that raises another question... is this unique shape on the Obverse a Mint error or damage? I have thought about this and cannot come up with a logical explanation for the damage other than a strike through of a sewing needle or some such metal object. IF it was PMD or vandalism, whomever did it was surgical in their precision... as the "walls" of the void are very well defined. Any input is appreciated: [ATTACH=full]1307642[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1307645[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1307643[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
