Now my fiance wont leave the computer looking at coins and shopping around. So, I got bored and started looking through my own collection. Then I can across something that made me do a double take. My 1973 proof set. I looked at the penny. Theres something wrong with it. Its a proof, obviously. However, theres a few gouges in it. I'm suprised that this never caught my eye before. Theres a tiny one at the top, on the front by the "T' in "Trust". Then theres one on the side of Lincoln's head, his jaw, then his shoulder.
