SnuggleBuggle82 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 2:10 pm Please Help! I have this Wheat penny that looks like the date and the area around it was scraped off. Not to sure what's going on here with this. I have tried to use a looking glass and I couldn't see anything. I hope these are good enough pictures. Thank you ! Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 6:22 pm If I can add my 2 cents worth..., it could be a pre-1918 Lincoln since I don't observe a vdb initial at the bottom of Lincolns coat, though it is hard to tell. I also agree with the other posts here that it is PMD (post-mint-damage). Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 6:25 pm Guessing this is deliberate damage, not a hit. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 7:49 pm I agree, deliberate defacing, post mint damage ( PMD). Report this Post to the Staff
sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 01/13/2021 12:04 pm Yup definite PMD. I hate not knowing. If you look at Wheat cent design changes on a site like variety vista, you might be able to bracket the age of the coin base on subtle design changes. Sort of like seeing a "VDB" means 1909, but more subtle even. Not worth the time in $$$, but maybe just to quench your curiosity. Report this Post to the Staff
