By understanding the minting process, you would know that damage could not have happened at that time. Report this Post to the Staff

not_a_robot New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 5:08 pm Ok. I thought that such a deformation would have damaged the copper coating on a zinc cent if it were PMD? also the L made me suspicious as it does not appear flattened but is weakly struck. Also I wonder why the reverse doesn't show any sign of damage that would correspond to the obverse. Thanks for the replies I am here to learn.
