I would think these unique lines and dents in the coin would have had to occur during the minting process. Not sure if this would be considered just a damaged coin or if it might have some value. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/08/2022 10:51 am Note the raised areas on the reverse? The coin was worked over and punched with a punch that made incuse damage to puch out the reverse. As mentioned already, this is not a mint error, but damage to the coin. (the coin is now a cull coin, with even one mark on them, but are still a Wheat cent. Report this Post to the Staff
