Newbie15 New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 07/29/2024 08:11 am I found this one and was curious. I did some research and I think it may be a broad strike. However, the coin does not seem larger then a normal cent. The L in Liberty is still there but missing the bottom part of the L. I'm sure it is just damage but wanted to check.
