Also chips in the date especially on 1957 and 1958. I have seen this master hub damage on P and D cents. Some do not show as much as this one (on the 6). Why is that? Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 04/06/2016 12:45 pm I wonder if any of these (broken hub @ the 6) appear on S minted coins? Report this Post to the Staff
