    10 rolls of 2020 Penny's, I believe I am the first handler because of a die crack that carries in over 3 rolls. So, I'm very surprised at the Knicks and such. Anyway, what caused this smooth indentation? 20200501_152506.jpg 20200501_153152.jpg 20200501_145450.jpg 20200501_153001.jpg 20200501_145542.jpg

    Looks like maybe a minor strike through? While I don't envy your for being stuck with so many solid date shield cents, I do envy you for having seen a 2020 coin.

    Well, I was at the bank, when I saw what the teller sent me I was disappointed. It's amazing how much damage is on them already and alot of die cracks, tiny struck throughs. I was wondering if it was from a "finger"

    These coins are not treated gently in anyway. They are dumped into bins and tossed through counters before being rolled up. Gouges, dings, scratches, etc are par for the course.

    That makes sense as to the scratches, they haven't but do look like they have been in circulation

    as @furryfrog02 has mentioned. Some type of Struck Through issue.

    I'm detecting Coney Island Beach tomorrow. Look for my thread in the evening! ;)
