Hello - In a request for an Indian Head penny, a friend showed up with several. The one pictured below immediately caught my eye. The face looked like it was grimacing or something. I have attempted some images - please let me know what you think and if you need more images.

Thank you very much for looking.

Welcome to Coin Community. Nice to have you here.

This one looks like it took a postmint hit in precisely the right place to make you go . Definitely PMD, but worth a thread on its' own simply because of the perfect location.

Question, though: What happens when you're not a newb any more?

Thanks for the reply! I sort of thought that was the case. I even remember reading somewhere that folks mutilated these coins due to displeasure with the design? That may be a daydream I had or something too...

I plan to be a newb for a very long time (at least as long as I have left!) That way I can keep on learning...
