giorgio11 Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 08/12/2017 08:54 am The first coin shows what numismatists usually call PMD or post-Mint damage. Agree that the second coin was most likely struck from a die that had the last digit filled in with metal shavings/die grease, a normal occurrence in the production of high-volume mintages such as the 1941 Lincoln cents (887 million struck).

Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 12:28 am @rgo, we'd love to see some pics of your coin, but please start a new thread for it. If you want, you can include a link to this thread so that it is easier for folks to compare your coin with this one.
