asia1125 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/03/2021 8:53 pm Hello, To be honest, I just started learning about all things coin. This penny crossed my path at work, and I had to look into it more. I'm not sure if it's a minting error, or post-mint damage. I greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!
