mwr1550 Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 06/09/2012 08:23 am Hard for me to tell from the picture but the rim seems to be smaller on that side of the coin than the other. Could be an off center strike. Or it could be just damaged on that side, there are some reather big gouges just below the liberty. Report this Post to the Staff

papatony Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 06/09/2012 12:36 pm The L is PMD , this can be from rolling/counting machines or even Grease Filled Die, and the coin is not offcenter enough for it to be worth more than 1 cent. Report this Post to the Staff
