I found this 1953 penny that appears to have some doubling or something going. The tops of the T's in Trust appear to curve up. Liberty and the date has some stuff going on. There also seems to be a B randomly stamped in front of the Presidents nose. I've attached pics and would like to hear someone else input on it. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/02/2023 11:23 am These wheat cents on the 1950's were examples of extreme die wear. They squeezed was too many of these cents past normal retirement. Thus the issue with breakdown on the dies can be seen on these cents. They are way too common to find to have a real premium for these. Report this Post to the Staff
