NEWmrMatic Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 5:22 pm Looks like the newer shield reverse poking out. How it happened I have no clue but that is definitely the reverse shield of newer pennies. Edited by NEWmrMatic 03/09/2023 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 7:16 pm Shield cents are zinc, which I think is softer than copper. This I believe is a copper cent. So it wouldn't leave a gash like this on a copper cent. Report this Post to the Staff
