hwalbanger New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 11:09 pm I recently found a 1980 Lincoln Cent with the zero that looks like a "D". Any thoughts on this? The zero does not look like it has been damaged. Thanks, Harvey Report this Post to the Staff

Important thing to understand here is that by the way hubs, dies, and eventually coins are made, there is NO way this 'anomaly' could be a result of the minting process. Report this Post to the Staff
