Below lincolns chin is a perfect Circular puncture wound, also on the back the T in cent is muffled. So I was curious if this wheat penny has a machine error or did someone try to tamper with it ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -xelm
To me it looks like someone used some kind of a hole tap and hit it with a hammer. The damage on the back I am guessing corresponds to the damage on the obverse as one would expect. I would be interested to hear what some of the more experience members have to say though.
It looks like PMD to me! As @Electron John said, the punched area on the obverse corresponds to the smashed area on the reverse. Chris
