Matthewsnyder82 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 02/05/2019 3:17 pm Hello. Came across this specimen while getting my daughter into the hobby filling up a penny collection book. The ridge in on the bottom lower right seems a bit odd. Any suggestions on what it is Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/06/2019 12:15 pm The reverse seems normal. The added images have a different contrast. The new obverse image still suggest similar as previously described. To me it shows a slight tilted die strike or just slightly misaligned. Both can create a similar appearance due to the additional gap created to one side during the strike. If both obverse and reverse show similar symptoms, then I check the edge closer as well, to eliminate any potential collar issues. Thanks, Doug.
