CharPDX214 Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 12/23/2022 12:34 pm On this penny the Engravers initial look odd to me. Would this be caused by circulation damage or could this have happened during minting process. The reverse does not show a lot of damage on the coin but the F G does not look normal. I also have a 1977 with a similar issue. I could not find information on this type of damage any help would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
