I do not know and am asking if anyone can identify this error and if it is a common or rare error. Thank you. * Edited by Staff to Add Year to Title.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 3:25 pm If you are referring to the "secondary" rim between Lincoln's shoulder and the W (WE) that looks like this coin was struck by a misaligned obverse die. (An image of the reverse could help rule out an off-center cent. If the reverse is normal, this effect would be from misaligned dies. If the reverse looks like this obverse, it might be a slightly off-center cent.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97324 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 5:32 pm MAD strike with Ridge Ring if the reverse is centered. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 10:56 pm Thanks for the info on the reverse. As Dearborn and ijn1944 said this would be a MAD ( Mis-Aligned die, obverse) and have a Ridge Ring (through IN GOD to below the L) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
