It is sometimes called a "Floating Roof". They are pretty common as they can appear on any year of the Memorial cent so not much extra value to it. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95984 Posts	Posted 04/20/2021 5:25 pm to CCF I would like to see a full coin image of the obverse much closer and larger. It looks like there is a trace of the initials on the full coin image provided. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
