I'm processing a box of Canadian cents and I came across this 1972 LMC. It appears to me to have some notching of the "B" in LIBERTY as well as possibly a few other letters. I tried to take a few pics with my camera just to realize the battery is dead. I pulled out my POS USB Microscope to get a few images. I will work on them a bit more tomorrow after some rest. I looked on CC"s site and did not recognize a match. I also see what may be doubling on the OBV Motto. Again...sorry for the lack of quality pics. I will see what I can muster tomorrow but these might get a start. I tried to tweak the sharpness a bit just to bring out some more detail. Looking forward to seeing your replies.

I have had a couple that look like that and after looking at them at every angle possible they turned out to be either damage or die wear. Lets see what the pros can tell you. Good luck !!
