DMN Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 04/11/2022 7:45 pm Are these just bad punches on this one? The L looks like it refused to be punched and the N looks like it wanted to pull out of the coin all together! Lol! Edited by DMN 04/11/2022 7:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96467 Posts	Posted 04/11/2022 7:49 pm Looks like it was struck with a very tired die. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 04/11/2022 8:32 pm Yes a tired die plus some circulation hits. Not unusual, but interesting to ponder in any case.

DMN Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 04/11/2022 8:42 pm @Spence Your right. I've seen alot especially the L's in Liberty on the older copper coins but none were ever as extreme like this one. Edited by DMN 04/11/2022 8:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
