1985 Philadelphia mint Lincoln Cent. I'm really not sure, vut I think its a broadsteike. You can see a line through "In God We Trust" and something is going on witht the L in "Liberty" also. Just trying to figure out what I have here to see if its worth getting graded by PCGS. All help is much appreciated! Thanks!!!

Not worth grading.

Yes, misaligned die (of a minor nature). Appears that Die Deterioration may be working its way into the equation as well--emergent obverse Ridge Ring. In my opinion, not a good candidate for a grading submission.

Since nobody said so.

A broadstrike is another term for struck out of collar. Without the collar to restrain the planchet, it will be larger than a normal coin.

In the future, please show full images of both sides of the coin. A follow-on detail shot if appropriate.
