Titles are Important! * I can't get the pictures to download for some reason. I know everyone will say I need pictures. I have 2 Lincoln cents I'm curious about. First one is a 1968 P that has a YY in liberty there is no T just 2 YYs. The second one is a 1962 D with no copper on either side or around the rim. Not sure what it is. It is very dark.

We'll need photos to be able to offer an opinion on the coin. Tutorial on how to upload images: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...-posting.asp Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 04/22/2018 5:14 pm @DCJM4, first welcome to CCF. Second, yes for sure pics are needed. I wonder if your first cent has some damage to the letter T that has caused it to look somewhat like a letter Y. We see all sorts of wacky damage, and it wouldn't surprise me if that is the case for this coin. You can be very sure that your coin did not leave the US mint with a mis-spelling.
