Is the '75 penny PMD or damage at the mint? Are the letters in the word 'States' of the '77 due to a weak strike? Thanks all.

The 1975 penny looks like PMD , I see a lot of road coins with a somewhat similar look and I suspect that penny may have been driven over at dome point......

I am leaning on the 1977 penny being a weak strike, its looks awesome for penny its age it must have lived a sheltered life

with the '75, a road coin.

On the '77, wouldn't the whole side be weak if it's a weak strike? I'm leaning more toward Struck Through Grease or overpolishing on that area.

PMD on the first one.

The 2nd however, It looks like there's a minor Cud going on the OBV. Maybe that has something to do with the weak side? It also looks ever so slightly MAD as well.

The experts should pipe in a little while.

Looks like a minor rim Cud on the second coin. The reverse shows a partial Grease Filled Die. The first coin is a parking lot cent. Still worth copper melt.

I see lots of LMC with this same grease issue in the same spot. Why are there so many with the same issue?
