miawanis New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 05/19/2010 8:03 pm Hello, I came across this coin today and noticed some unusual(?) markings on the back. I am somewhat new to coin collecting and am still learning the "lingo". I noticed a few things on the back of this 2000 penny - a mark below the bust that looks a little bit like an arrow, another mark coming from the neck line on the left and the absence of a bead above the T in Elizabeth. Are any of these marks significant? Thank you for any input! Jaime Report this Post to the Staff

miawanis New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 05/19/2010 9:26 pm Thank you both! It's amazing what kind of damage shows up on a scan that is not viable to the naked eye. Are missing beads along the circumference commonly seen? (And is "bead" the correct word) Report this Post to the Staff
