Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 08/13/2021 08:38 am @-makecents-, thanks ya that definitely looks like what it is, so is this fairly common on American pennies? Also would it be considered mint damage or in a different category like die chips? Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 08/13/2021 08:40 am Iv also noticed MD is way more common on American coins, at least pennies, then Canadian coins. I think about 5-10% of the pennies I looked through had MD which is annoying because a bunch of the years I have have know double dies Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8785 Posts	Posted 08/13/2021 08:49 am It would be considered mint damage. I see them quite often, so I would think nothing special but yours is showing it in the middle of the shield, which I have not found. The many I have seen are in the fields, just outside the shield. The areas, inside the shield, on your coin are recessed but on the anvil die, that had been damaged, they are raised,as are the fields, which the feeder fingers obviously drug across. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 08/13/2021 08:53 am Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/13/2021 09:47 am I agree with FF damage, it is a nice example. It is "somewhat" common little if any premium. As to a lot of MD on U.S.A. cents, I think a lot of Canadian coins are MD but not considered that to Canadian collectors. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
