Not an error, it has just been hit and moved over. PMDThere is nothing in the minting process that would cause that to happen. Edited by JimmyD

Given the image posted, there may (may...) be a split plating issue with the L as well. Closer-in pics of LIBERTY might tell us more.

IF gray is showing, then it is split plating on that area. When the zinc gets exposed, then it starts to rot. If so then it is a spender. The coin may have been damaged and pushed the device aside, splitting the plating.

you can see where the vertical part of the L used to be by looking at the gray area where the zinc is showing through.
this coin just took a hit.

The only error I see is the title says 1989 but the coin is 1998

If you want to catch a rainbow trout, you need to know what a rainbow trout is. The same with coins. Most odd looking things on coins are just post mint damage ( PMD) Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don't learn the coin hobby backwards.  Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage or useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, etc. Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.

with Earle42. Your get more out of your searches if you understand the minting process. Once you have a good feel for what a coin should look like, any error will be easier to spot. Bonne chance!  to the CCF! |
