Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10472 Posts	Posted 05/04/2026 7:21 pm I agree too - The VDB is raised on the die, and being so small, it can easily get polished off. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10029 Posts	Posted 05/04/2026 7:47 pm The mint goes to very extreme measures to guarantee every coin die they use to make coins is 100% identical to all of the others. In fact they all come from one source: the master hub. So when you see stuff like this it was either polished off a die to extend die life (happens al the time), the die was plugged with polishing grease so the design did not come out, or it is damage. Overlook stuff like this and instead look for what the hobby collects. Get rolls of pennies from the bank, sort them by date and mm. Go to varietvista.com and find matches there. This is how to learn what the hobby collects instead of being sidetracked by things like you see al over ebay that are worthless to the real hobby.
