Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 11:10 pm @jun, the stretching of letters into the rim indicates that this cent was struck with a tired die. While it occurred at the mint and is not faithful to the planned design, having a cent struck with late or very late stage dies doesn't increase the numismatic value.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21630 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 08:12 am Agree It is known as Die Deterioration and is quite common after the striking dies start to wear out. Keep as an example but there is no premium. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 11:19 am It is die flow that was not polished off the last time the die was polished. It happens. Just extreme die wear. Not a plus for these coins. Report this Post to the Staff
