Hi Guys. What do you make of this LC mint mark wiped? I'm assuming it was wiped by the mint. Thank you PICA0067.jpg PICA0065.jpg PICA0066.jpg

In my opinion, its a damaged cent.
It may look like a mintmark may have been there, but that should not be the case.
Its a case of Pareidolia.
The US Mint in the last 80+ years is not going to remove a mint mark and use the working die.
They have hundreds of working dies at the ready for the year. It takes a few minutes for them to replace a working die.
With that cent being heavily worn, its tough to know what could have happened outside the mint. The damage could be just about anything.
