WeirdPenny New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/02/2020 8:09 pm I have a flawed penny. Is it worth pursuing? I need a better picture, but the main issue is around the D mint mark. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

WeirdPenny New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/02/2020 8:21 pm Oh. It is underneath the mint mark though. The D is sitting on a mini volcano. But I don't know. That's why I am asking you experts before I treat it like a penny. Thank you, btw. Report this Post to the Staff
