Just wanting to know if someone can tell me if this is normal or not. I was able to find one other besides this one that has the same marking. Sorry for the pic but I suck at resizing and was getting mad so just tried to make it simple and easy.

1987-Penny.

Hey Truther... I have several of them, I have them grouped with my BIE's for now. As soon as I get my camera stuff set up I will post pics of mine here also!

I'm guessing you probably see the same thing on the date and other devices facing the rim on your coin. I can't tell for sure, but I think it is die wear. BIE's on wheat cents are from the die chipping away probably from a clash contact with the reverse die.
1987-Penny.
After the die starts chipping it continues untill the size gets as tall as the other devices. Then it stops spreading or the dies are replaced.
