I have never seen a penny with two perfect holes under the date. The holes don't pass though the penny. Could this be a minting error. I am not sure how somebody could hand drill these holes, or why they would do so. Still a cool, old coin IMHO. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96250 Posts	Posted 06/21/2024 11:19 am this is a damaged coin, but can you post up an image of the reverse? It tells us how bad the damage could be and how it happened. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
