Hunter37 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 08/18/2019 8:05 pm Hi! I came across this penny and wanted to post it on the forum to learn a little bit more about it. The penny has tons of raised lines on the reverse around the "one" and the "cent". There is also a line going across the columns of the memorial building and a single long line under the building. I would love to hear what would cause something like this. I did my best to take some pictures of the areas. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff
