rlu7732 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 04/28/2025 8:13 pm I know this penny has a lot of PMD; however, my question is were the elements that the arrows point to present before the damage or did the damage cause this? For instance, the circle right above the 8 on the date or the US in TRUST. Report this Post to the Staff
