The is Die Deterioration. When the die ages, the die get worn on that area making an raised area. (missing from the die on the outside of the dies edge) Note the "IN". The devices are reaching the rim in that area. Very common on LDS-VLDS coins.

Sadies, they're called "ridge rings" or "pressure ridges." Here's one post of many on CCF from 2008 on them: https://goccf.com/t/34837

Thank you Profiler. So it's called Ridge Rings caused by Die Deterioration? I've seen a few of these so I thought it must be common, but had to ask. Thank you for the link. I appreciate the knowledge.

The top of the building on the right side looks like it's floating in mid air.

It kind of does Yogisd1 after looking at it. What I was puzzled about last night was the wording of "State" on the back of the penny looked really large to me.  .

look at this one SA. It's from an Abraided Die. the die was over polished- probably to remove clash marks.

Thank you CoinMaster. Okay so I was comparing the two and the words on the the back look smaller in yours compared to the one I posted? Or is that just me being tired lol? Is it they over polished yours and that's why it looks smaller in size?

Oh yeah now I see it. The right side top Is separated where yours doesn't seem to be. Is it supposed to be like that? I didn't notice that earlier. I'm sorry. I truly have so much to learn.  You have no idea how much I appreciate all your guys help, thank you.
