<p>[QUOTE=&quot;StevetheDomer, post: 3893041, member: 107360&quot;]Hello, I was sorting a bag of wheat cents and came across this. Initial thought was great another coin someone defaced or carved their initials on with a screwdriver. In looking closer, I note that in the areas of the removed materials (call them valleys), the surface mint impression was still visible (though less clear) at the bottom of the valleys. It is most clearly visible for the &#039;E&#039; and &#039;N&#039; on the back of the coin - you can still see the letters. I don&#039;y know how this would happen if someone was defacing the coin with a screwdriver or chisel, which seem like the more likely culprits if this is env damage. Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
