asyrp43 Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 08:22 am I found this Wheat penny and at first I thought it had been damaged after leaving the mint. It has an indentation that covers part of the date. But you can still see the date printed in the bottom so it must have been done at the mint. -Allen * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

asyrp43 Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 2:50 pm I'll take a picture of the reverse tonight. The best I can remember it has a similar look but the indentation isn't nearly as deep. Report this Post to the Staff

asyrp43 Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 3:14 pm If so how is the 54 still visible? If it was a cut the date would have been cut off. If it was stamped or pressed with something wouldn't the 54 be flattened out? It's still slightly raised. Maybe you're right but it didn't seem possible to me. Report this Post to the Staff
