<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1212604, member: 15199"]It is post mint damage as Hobo says. Looking carefully at the straightened "9", I can see where the rounded edge that was straightened used to be. Since there is a much lighter ( less toned) color there, it must have happened in the last half of the cents life time. If it happened right away after minting, the color would be the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
