<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3086849, member: 36230"]I don't assume you to be invested, but I do feel you're asking for too much. Again, with tens of billions of cents minted and with infinite opportunities for each to be damaged in near infinite ways, nailing down an exact cause is often more of an art than a science. The obverse is in ways somewhat reminiscent of a cent that has been encased (think "lucky penny" type things) and perhaps it was albeit in a somewhat different manner than usual. Single coins can also show numerous forms of damage, so it's often isn't as cut and dry as we'd like. This is also why we usually go back to the minting process for our answers. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I do appreciate the fact you're taking this in a more constructive manner than many have. Kudos for that, and please do post your other coins in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
