HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 07/30/2022 5:56 pm I bought this cent for $3. I was most curious at the time of what could be under that line of gunk on the reverse. I gave it a decent bath and it revealed what looks to be a rim to rim die break? Before and after photos. Report this Post to the Staff
