    Where is it? Hard to tell with the provided pics where it’s concave.

    Look on the obverse for the convex.

    If it’s a dent then it was probably done purposely post-Mint.

    This came from 12 rolls of 1968 a pennies that had never been opened, and were stashed in a coin collection box since they came from the bank. There are probably 13 coins from these rolls with the concave reverse.

    I'm seeing a pretty worn reverse die.
