Titles are Important! * The "D" on this 1978 penny looks like it was double struck! First backwards then horizontal. Can someone tell me what I got? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 1:17 pm Just a few points of damage to the coin, and the brain trying to see something that is not there. It is not a Mint mark. Too large. If it were, then all the area would be raised. But look at the mint mark below that area. If it were a mint mark, then it would be that size.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 6:39 pm Cents are not annealed. Copper is a soft metal. As well as zinc. Colors come from their surroundings. I have a proof cent that was stored in its cellophane, it turned silver in color. I took out of the cello so I know it was not altered. Just toned that color. Report this Post to the Staff
