squeaky New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 09:13 am Going through some 1992 cents looking for the "AM" I came across this penny. I'm just now getting my feet wet when it comes to coin collecting and wondered what this would be called and whether or not it's common. I drew an arrow on the pic to indicate what I'm referring to in it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Edited by squeaky 07/06/2013 09:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

squeaky New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 09:54 am Thanks Broken-Coin. I've been doing a lot of reading on varieties, chips, Cuds and so much more. It can become quite overwhelming. Report this Post to the Staff
