<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andybevi, post: 3103123, member: 95971&quot;]OK--I played with the lighting and was able to get the light so that it can be seen a little easier that this is an indention in the Penny. I checked and it matches the radius of a penny. It also does not show linear features that a scratch would have. In fact, if you look closely there is a small rolled edge as well as a slight roll to the bottom of the depression [So I believe its a pressing and not a scratch]. Also the surface texture and aging inside the depression matches the penny pretty well. If I wanted to replicate this I would take another penny and lay it on this one then hit it with a hammer but I am not sure I could replicate anything like this, especially since it appears to go over/under the features on the penny above the ear. At this point I am guessing that something happened during the pressing of the penny like a scrap of another penny in the die. I dont understand the die process at the mint so I am not sure that an error like this is possible. Is there an expert somewhere that I could send this to for expert forensic analysis?&nbsp; Thanks to everyone for your comments and help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
