NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18069 Posts	Posted 01/25/2022 11:11 am It looks to me as if the penny has received a hit that has displaced the metal, or maybe someone deliberately tried to gouge it. I'm pretty sure this is PMD (post-mint damage) rather than an error. My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16898 Posts	Posted 01/25/2022 8:17 pm We assume you're talking about the damage on and to the left of the digit "1"? it's not an error. It's been hit hard by something hard, sharp and pointy, like a chisel or screwdriver. The sharp point has gouged out some of the metal, and the resulting pile of gouged-out metal is sitting over to the left of the gouge. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
