However, I think someone might have tired to modify the coin, the grooves on the left side reverse seem like a cutting type of tool. The reason I bring this to question is because the penny wasn't completely cut and on the right side of the coin there is some type of major die break with the letterings being covered. What do you think ? Report this Post to the Staff
