I simply questioned it.</p><p>But having watched Youtube&#039;s Numismatics error video&nbsp; I saw coins I would have thought could have only been done by destruction after the mint process.</p><p>The worst of them,the coins with very dirty dies,greasy dies and then some when the die was actually broken, not just scratched.</p><p>I believe most of those coins are removed and re smelted but I am certainly not saying this is post mint damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have found that Lincoln cents get more vandalized than any other coin.</p><p>At first I thought well coper is softer than say nickel or even silver but I didnt notice a lot of the indian cents I have seen vandalized.</p><p><br /></p><p>I questioned has anyone seen a penny like this? And just for myself,I also think after a microscope inspection it is interesting some of the damage could not have been man made.</p><p>&nbsp;Thanks for the reply.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
