Even the bottom corners are different. Is it post mint, or a very minor die break? I see it all the time on different cents so I'm sure it's no variant or anything. Here's two 1989 P cents.

MountainXBGL Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 01/04/2008 9:52 pm If you look at the "C" in both pictures...you see how much difference there is not just in the device definition but width as well? Thats why I have attributed it to die deteriation, but I have no clue if I am right. Report this Post to the Staff
