Airwalker New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 04/08/2020 3:04 pm I'm interested in learning what caused this tiny letter "Y." Is this a collectible penny or common? Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/08/2020 3:09 pm Looks like a badly overpolished die. Probably from removing a substantial die clash. I'd keep it if I found one like this, but I'm also new-ish to the hobby myself, so my standards may not be as high as some. Still, I think a lot of people would set aside a coin like this.
