1987 penny

Is this from the mint damage, or post mint damage? Any help would be great. Thanks ahead of time.

Post Mint damage.

 

It’s like someone took a flathead screwdriver to the back of the coin.

 

Scorch marks looks like someone applied heat to it.

 

maybe a Moose stepped on it while holding a screw driver and torch ?

 

Damaged and it doesn't matter how.

 

How can you say that! What are the chances of a moose, a screwdriver and a torch? Publishers Clearing House $5K a week for life are 6,200,000,000.

 

People with nothing better to do often deliberately damage coins. We see a lot of them here.

 

Oh it was easy. I looked at the coin with one eye shut and then I closed my other eye. What I stated was the first thing that popped into my head based solely on what I was looking at.

 

Maybe a fuse box job. Pre 83 work better than zincolns. Ask me how I know.

 

Probably the best answer.

Though Moose and Squirrel may object.
