JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 09/14/2020 3:12 pm Looking at this 1945 Lincoln Wheat cent I noticed what looked to be a doubled ear, on certain angles inside the crevis it looks like there are raised die sratches going in the oposite direction then what the crevis is. Usually when it is PMD the scratches are incused and going in the same direction the damage is going but that does not seem to be the case with this. so I thought I would get some opinions as I'm not certain on what exactly this might be.
