Hi
I came across this penny in a roll. Very nice condition, but all the details are soft. Rough surface with die cracks by the I's to the memorial's corners. Also Lincolns memorial has no steps, looks like mush. Is this from a deteriorated die? Worth collecting. I never came across one this bad.

Thanks for any and all replies.
Mike
