1997 Struck Through? Damage?

Post by Enyaw » Sat Mar 05, 2022 3:08 pm

I found this 1997 penny coin roll hunting and I was wondering if it was struck through, damage or something else? I would appreciate your thoughts, thanks.

Looks like it was Struck Through either grease or grit.

Definitely legit. 1997 was the first year of the copper-plated zinc 1-cent coins, so this is definitely a strike-through error.
