CuriousCoinRitz New Member Canada 25 Posts	Posted 11/09/2019 11:05 pm i recently got a 1971 D kennedy coin, which has faint lettering between the word LIBERTY, and a D on his neck about the mint mark, and two faint rims inside of the edge rim. Tried posting before put the pictures weren't clear enough. hopefully this time they are better. Edited by CuriousCoinRitz 11/09/2019 11:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It's not really a letter at all. It's just human nature to recognize patters like this. We've all seen thing like this on coins. It's called Pareidolia. Pareidolia is defined as "the perception of apparently significant patterns or recognizable images, especially faces, in random or accidental arrangements of shapes and lines."
