Question is, is this unique to this cent or will all coins produced with this die have the same appearence ? Report this Post to the Staff

Not all the coins produced by that die will show this effect, since the effect came onto the die with use. Every coin struck AFTER this one will show the effect, and it could have become more obvious with added use. Report this Post to the Staff
