Jtc8172003 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 09/18/2021 8:41 pm Im new here. I found a 1947 d penny while searching through a 50 dollar Wheat penny bank bag of pennies. It looks like it has seen better days but I can't determine if it is damaged or if it is a really really bad die break. What does everyone think? Any help would be appreciated!

Second, this coin has been grit blasted or something to give it that surface texture while it also has been bent. That is not a die crack/break but rather damage.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/18/2021 8:48 pm The coin is damaged. These are consider cull coins. More of just a Wheat cent now. Cleaned to death, bent and damaged. Report this Post to the Staff
