Alex_C New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 05/10/2023 3:38 pm Hello New to coins Penny Question I see listings for "L" in Liberty touching rim or smashed by rim as an error coin? When I look at coins this seems pretty common. Does it add any value to the resale value of a coin ? I am sure I have many that the "L" is pretty much gone. Also same goes with "In God we Trust" have many of these coins where 1/3 of the letter is missing because of mis-strike. Any value in these ? $5 ? $50 ? a penny ? Thank you for any input Report this Post to the Staff

I can't remember off the top of my head, but some years, the design placed the 'L' against the rim. then later on it was redesigned and the L was moved away from the rim. So no , it is not an error (depending on the year or if the coin was struck MAD or slightly off center. So, whta year are you asking about? Collecting since 1972.
