Railsiderustique New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 10/09/2022 07:00 am I found this penny and it seems to have tons of markings all over it. But it's broken in several places and I'm not sure if it's real. Please help! Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19183 Posts	Posted 10/09/2022 07:31 am Agree with Jimmy D. Yes, that (and worse) can happen to coins. Post-strike damage of a very harsh nature. Report this Post to the Staff
