Moblo231 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 10/06/2017 1:40 pm Hi all, new to forum. Found an odd cent coin roll hunting this morning. Strange abrasion(s) on obverse ending right in line with Lincoln's nose. Consistent patina suggesting it was done at mint or very soon thereafter. Any input appreciated on what may have caused this, what it's worth, etc. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 10/06/2017 1:59 pm Thinking its a type 1 large date, that's been damaged and bent after strike. Reverse show anything? I tried to zoom in from my end, but image gets to distorted in the process. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

Moblo231 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 01:38 am thanks for the welcome everyone. So the reverse has a gentle convex sloping opposite where the mark is. Almost looks like a weak planchet (damaged in its inception) could've caused it to buckle there. What's the name for this? I'm gonna hold onto it regardless but I'm wondering how rare this type of error is for this coin. The more I look at it, the more I'm convinced this is a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff
uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 01:45 am , I agree that's PMD and not an error, the reverse is proof of it. Report this Post to the Staff
