marymanard Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 10/11/2011 03:13 am sadly my scanner is old school and only goes to 600 dpi it does not look damaged like it was struck with a hammer there are no scrapes or obvious impact marks on the penny. I'll keep trying with the camera Report this Post to the Staff
