Miss Italy21 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 08:14 am Hello! I'm attaching some pics of a 1985 D penny that I've been researching. I found some info on it, but I'm not sure if I'm catching everything, and hoping someone can enlighten me on this. I've been reading for 2 hours on it, and I'm not sure if I'm looking in the right area. It has lots of the "orange peel" on both O/R. On the Obverse, there is a slight impression of AL's face that go down to his chin. There's a small "R" SW of the MM against the rim/edge. His cheek is either oxidation or a possible die clash? The bump on his nose, is on the reverse, exact same spot. On the Reverse, from the corner of the left side of the LM, is a silver/blue chip and travels down the side to the tip of the steps, with a bigger chip or notched out? The "s" in Pluribus is pointed up towards the left of the leg "A". In the 3rd bay, the columns start to get wider and the post is pushed in towards it? The right side of the steps and landscape are all wild. I can't find anything pertaining to that? There's some die cracks and doubling on some of the columns, too. There is an "S" somewhere on the coin that goes from front to back like it was pushed thru, but I can't locate it now? I've been studying this way too long, I can't remember now! Can someone help me with this, please? Report this Post to the Staff

If that makes any sense! It was pretty hard to type... Thanks for any info anyone can share! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 11:16 am Are referring on the reverse or obverse? Note the dies experience on the obverses a DDD issue called Ridge Ring. On the reverses you can sometimes see an issue with the PID There is no premium for these as they are from an aging die issue. It is a die event. Also seeing on other coins as well: Just like a senior, the dies develop issues from aging. There is no premium for die aging. Just a coin distraction.
