Gizmo3204 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 06/05/2024 4:14 pm I have found a couple of Lincoln cents with either filled in dates or letters and another with what looks to me like either debris or die damage. Two questions can anyone tell me if I am correct and if I am does this add any value to the coin? Report this Post to the Staff

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4037 Posts	Posted 06/05/2024 6:57 pm If those areas marked "die damage?" are raised, then they may indeed be die damage. But if they are incuse / pushed into the coin, then they are probably just PMD. Can't tell either way from the photos. Can you confirm if they are raised or incuse?

Unfortunately that looks like PMD done with a blunt instrument like a burnishing tool or similar. Definitely not something from the minting process.
