brahcu New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 12/26/2011 6:34 pm Found this damaged 1981 Lincoln Penny. At first I thought it was post mint damage, but after a closer look the strike marks that you see match up and are the same on both sides. There is also some rim damage. Have no idea what at the mint could have caused this. Opinions? Report this Post to the Staff
