Hello,

After going over some Lincoln wheaties I noticed a small 'T' on the obverse of a 1945 LHC.

I then placed a normal-looking 'T' 1945 LHC next to this micro 'T' 1945 LHC to present a relative size comparison.

The only reason that I can attribute to this phenomenon would be a grease-plugged die.

But that would not account for the appearance of a mini serif on the bottom of this micro 'T'

Please let me know what this condition is called, how it formed, and how much of a rarity its formation can be classified as.

Finally, would this 1945 micro T LHC command additional premium based upon the presented photos here?

Thanks,
mdpmedia

Notice how the normal 'T' has a vertical leg whose width is constant from top to bottom.

The micro 'T' appears to have its lowest portion flaring out somewhat with a width of the vertical bar being slightly greater than the width of the upper area of this vertical bar.

Here are some better side-by-side shots:

Its either PMD or the die picked up some metal in the T from previous strikes and now punches out small t. IMHO
