DeadElvis Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 03/03/2020 7:11 pm I'm very new to this, I think I am getting addicted to coin roll hunting. For some reason it's relaxing. I've found a couple of pennies where the obverse legend appears to be struck on a convex ridge. Would this be considered damage after mint? I guess a picture is worth 1000 words. No concave on reverse that my untrained eyes can see. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

You guys are awesome, I doubt I'll ever learn what all to look for in these rolls. I'll be posting an odd crack next. I hope you guys don't grow weary of noob questions. Report this Post to the Staff
