Post Mint Damage to world's MOST expensive cent?

Not quite sure if this classifies as "Post Mint Damage" or not. :laughing:

This is a shot of the 1909 VDB Penny that is found on the NASA Mars Rover Curiosity. It has been on Mars now for 2 Earth years.

Check out a "at landing" and "now" slider option of this photo at the below link!

It looks like there's just dirt on it... no PMD!

That's pretty cool stuff though!

On the rover? I was wondering why you didn't blow the dust of it.

I wonder why they picked THAT penny and that date? There's usually a reason for everything..... :?:
