Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4407 Posts	Posted 05/09/2021 10:04 pm Looks like a Ridge Ring caused by Die Deterioration: http://www.error-ref.com/die-deteri...ling-incuse/ Very common on the late 1980s cents. Side note: I don't think that reverse photo is from the same coin. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/10/2021 01:39 am I agree with the Ridge Ring theory. The die is flattening, taking over the void areas that used to be the L on Liberty. This collapse on that die area is seen more on the coins of the Zincolns of the 1980's. No premium as you mentioned, but sometimes knowing what is going on, helps us to move faster to the next coin during searches. More like a die collapse on that area. Report this Post to the Staff
