I found this post and I wondered what in the world is going on with this penny that I found that is missing only the I in LIBERTY. Seemed odd , but it also seems like it might just be a grease issue. Please advise and thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Second, as it is best practice to start a new thread for each new coin, I have split your post off of that older thread.
