Second those roughly parallel linear marks across the front of this cent all look like damage (not a mint error) to me.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/22/2020 5:23 pm Post mint damage to the obverse. Scrapes so deep you can see the zinc under the copper (the grey colour). Spend it before zinc rot sets in! to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
