BK61 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 06/18/2023 11:36 am Sorting through old wheat pennies and came across this. Is this post mint damage or die damage? Seems to extend from the "I" in the word IN and looks like deep scratch which narrows as it gets closer to Lincoln's chin. There is also what looks like small Cud and missing metal. There is also The first T in trust also looks like a lower case"T" with extension above. Thank you in advance for your input! Report this Post to the Staff
