Ot doesn't look like damage after because the actual d is not effected. The back is in good order and seems normal. I am excited about this penny because in the 1000s I have gone through it seems to be the closest to a good find. Thanks for helping! to Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19239 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 1:53 pm Appears to be a classic example of split plating at the mint mark--not that uncommon with Zincoln cents. When struck, copper splits at the mint mark, exposing zinc. Zinc rots sets in, looking like a divot in close proximity to the mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 7:10 pm I agree, very classic split plating and zinc rot. It's hard to tell, but it looks like there is some split plating at the top of the motto letters as well. Spend it while you can. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
