Darabi Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 10/29/2024 02:02 am Hello everyone, I have this 2009 D penny with a few black spots. Can you tell if these are die chips or just damage? It also looks like uncle Abe is losing one eye to deterioration. Edited by Darabi 10/29/2024 02:24 am Report this Post to the Staff

I would like to add, very nice shots! It is not enough to merely enjoy coins; one must Advocate for them! Edited by CoinAdvocate 10/29/2024 02:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
