Huntercoinz New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 07:40 am I recently inherited my grandfathers coin collection, which contains a lot of old Lincoln cents from 1910s to the 1960s. I am a new queen hobbyist and also new to the foreign. I came across this 1917 Lincoln Cent which seems to have a misprint of some sort with the last T in the word trust. Does anyone have any thoughts or information on this? I will likely be posting more photos of interestingcoinsI've come across.thank you Report this Post to the Staff

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 01/28/2023 1:56 pm Question to others. How can that be a PMD...the last "T" in trust is definitely not where it should be. I'm leaning more toward a Mint error. If that is a PMD, how would the "T" get moved like that? In fact, the whole word is a bit off. Huntercoinz: You may find the " Cherry Pickers Guide to Lincoln Cents" a helpful reference for you. I prefer the book but, I believe that you can find a digital version on-line now. Happy discoveries from Grandpa! Edited by dsking 01/28/2023 2:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
