I just received a 1962 penny that is supposed to have a missing M just under the queen's effigy. I can't see what they mean. I have 2 1955 pennies that came with it and don't see any difference with them. Am I blind or what
The initials of the "young queen" designer Mary Gillick appear at the bottom of the bust (but on the bust). They are VERY tiny. Sometimes one or the other or both are missing, probably I assume because of clogging of the die.
