I recently got my hands on a 50% off center penny (no visible date) and I noticed on the face side there appears to be a very small capital letter "A" I noticed. It seems too small to be from ant "A" located on the penny anywhere. Does anyone know why this is here/where it came from? Is this a common or known thing? Thanks in advance for your responses! Sorry for low quality picture, using an old phone with not the best camera!  |

Not seeing that 'A' most likely it is just Pareidolia |

In my opinion it is just a coincidental surface stain formation, there are no lettering on the cent to resemble what looks like an A on this coin.

I'm by no means an error type of guy. But should this rim be here?  |

Definitely a clear "A" but cant figure out where it would have come from! Lol and sure here is a picture of reverse. Thanks!   |

Agree this is just coincidental.

Guess just a coincidence. Just looked too much like a capital A that I figured there would be a known reason for it appearing to be there but I am by no means knowledgeable on these things. Thanks for the feedback everyone!
