I'm new at inspecting/analyzing coins. This penny looks goofy to me. First, the letters in TRUST are not equally spaced. The last T looks dropped a bit. The R has a curved foot/leg. The word LIBERTY is all uneven. The W in WE is too high. It has a fault in the President's forehead. What do you think?

@mne, first welcome to CCF. Second, have you tried overlaying an image of your coin with one that doesn't appear to have the wonky lettering? Differences aren't coming through too great with this overall image, but closeups of the specific letters might help.

I checked the R using my gemstone eye piece to see if the foot had been pushed over or smashed over. It hasn't. Also, the defect in his forehead is not damage. I know my pictures are bad.

Thanks yall. It's fun no matter what!
