    Hi guys,

    I have this 1941 Lincoln Wheat Penny and see that there is a piece of metal on the bottom obverse near the rim. Can someone explain what this is please?

    Its a delamination, folded over from the rim.

    It looks to me like part of the rim got "shaved off " and pushover onto the obv. I strongly suspect post strike damage.
