babybird Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 10/08/2016 5:45 pm I found this 1958 Wheat penny in an old lincoln head cent book (starting 1941) and it sure looks like a weak strike to me. There is no rim whatsoever. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thx Report this Post to the Staff

babybird Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 10/08/2016 6:26 pm It is definitely possible and to be honest that was my first thought but how can you say it was sanded with such certainty? What are you seeing that makes you give that opinion? Thx Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 10/08/2016 6:51 pm Definitely PMD, caused by rev rims being filed/sanded off. Evident by the multitude of scratches visible. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
