 Look at the first coin on the left. It is a Wheat cent. But not how coin wrapper damage pretty much took out most of TRUST. This may have happen to a lesser degree on your coin. Note the distortion of the first 'T' on Yokozuna gif image? Possibly damage from wrapper or vending machine damage. |

I don't think it is coin wrapper damage. Looks pretty normal to me. John1  |

The two images he overlapped to show that look the same, or of the same penny, I just took it with the flash on, I have compared it to other 1920 pennies, and the tea is definitely further out.

Sorry no edit button, I had not uploaded the non-flash non-edited version, so he must've actually taken another 1920 and compared it with my flash on an edited photo (while keeping the same background, which threw me off)
But if you look at the image without the flash, it really looks like there's a larger space.
Thanks again guys!

Btw: does this penny hold any value as it does not have a mint letter?

no mint mark mean it was minted in Philly,no additional value because of that. The value is about two and a Half Cents. John1

Spacing CAN change slightly due to polishing of the dies. As the field is groung down the letters get thinner and so their edge become further apart.
20th century die making 101. As a general rule all working dies trace back to the same master hub, so in order to have a change in spacing, a misspelling, one letter over another etc, it would HAVE to have occured on the master hub. The problem is if such an error does happen on the master hub, it will also be on all the master dies, all the working hubs, all the working dies, and on every coin produced.
So since the OP cent came from dies that came from the same master hub and all the other 1920 dies, the spacing can't be different.

Just an observation here.
If you used flet marker to indicate the spacing differences, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THOSE BLACK LINES. Use acetone and blot on a towel. Don't rub the coin with anything rough. Never clean a coin Acetone should remove the lines, without removing any patina from the original coin coloration.

I did not mark the penny, I used an iPhone photo editing option to add it virtually to that photo.
