NickG Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 03/14/2018 1:09 pm Hello Forum I have a 1944 penny with damage to the "L"in Liberty and missing "T" in trust. I would like your thoughts on what is going on with the coin. Thanks for the help! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 03/14/2018 1:34 pm The T seems to be missing due to a grease-filled die, but the shadow of the rim makes it hard to say whether the L was hit or also poorly struck at the mint.
