CoinChat89 Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 11/08/2024 9:37 pm I'm back with another Lincoln Penny (different year this time, finally lol). Found this 1987-P Lincoln Penny with a round raised portion/line on the obverse that runs from his shoulder through the "L" in Liberty, and all the way around through "In God We Trust". Not sure what this error called (obverse strike error?). Separately, there's another raised line that starts on the left upper-center part and curves downwards aiming towards the "R" in Liberty. The coin is in pretty good condition (certainly for a circulated penny lol) and the reverse side coin details are still very prominent, yet the bottom of the "E-S" in "States" is basically missing (more so on the "E". on the "S" you can still see a shadow of where the remaining portion of the letter would be. The details on the top portion of the memorial roof are flattened/missing between columns 2-3 (when counting from left) and on the lower roof portion between columns 3-5 (also counting from left lol). This might just be PMD though, not sure. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7119 Posts	Posted 11/08/2024 11:13 pm Reverse E S of STATES is weakly struck up because more material (medal) is needed to fill Abe's lower bust on the obverse...very common and seen through out most all years.
