with Dearborn. A close up of Liberty would be good. Plus, a quick acetone bath for this Cent (even though it looks to be previously cleaned) may be in order to see if it would remove some of the gunk and buildup around the devices but that's up to you.

with Scuba1 on the 'Y' being displaced. I think he gives a good explanation for what we are seeing on this coin.

Your "Y" took a hit which knocked it slightly out of place. Simply post mint damage ( PMD), no premium I'm afraid.

I crop the image and analyse. Greasy Fingers was right. The line you take always between "B" and end of "Y"

Did the I in 'In God' get knocked down a bit too?

no to @ AmateurCoinGuy. In general for those years the I or one (1) was not well center or smaller.

I'm thinking the top of T in LIBERTY was hit and moved metal north, making the T look slightly taller. Then, the base of Y took a hit which pushed a little metal south. Net effect caused the Y to appear lower.

Not that it matters, the coin appears to have been cleaned at some point. Fun.

The hit to the top of the 'T', makes it look taller and the 'Y' is lower on all of the coins. So the contact mark on the 'T' makes it look too low.
