<p>[QUOTE="Al Heline, post: 507244, member: 16322"]Interesting find. This penny still has most of its' luster but has some 'damage' that appears to have happened at the mint. From the 2:00 position to about the 5:30 position there is an area that almost looks scrapped and frosted, yet the rim of the coin is near perfect. The units digit in the year is gone completely, the tens digit has to be seen from an angle of about 45 degrees, otherwise it appears not to be there at all. The mint mark 'D' is filled (for the most part) with only a small area that is at the 'altitude' that it should be. The last picture shows an area that appears to have part of a 6, 8, 9, 0 or even a 5 (inside the red circle) which is very weak to the naked eye but can be seen with a 5X lens. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm interested in knowing how this might have happened. It appears to be a mint 'error' or 'damage' and not man made, yet I don't know how to classify it.
