Is the coin thin?</p><p><br /></p><p>If was pressed against something soft (wood, thick cloth etc), it could explain the lack of deformation on the reverse.&nbsp; In any case, I can&#039;t think of any scenario that would leave a mark like on a newly minted cent.&nbsp; It couldn&#039;t have left the mint like that, so we can just speculate as to what caused the PMD[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
