HyerJK Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 11/21/2023 12:08 am Here's a 1999 Lincoln one cent that has something strange going on with the "L" in liberty. I don't know if it's a plating error or what. If so, I still don't know why it would have done this. Also, curious to know if this is something worth keeping. Hoping some trained eyes can help me out. Report this Post to the Staff

HyerJK Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 11/21/2023 02:39 am What about the extra blob on the vertical part of the "L"? And is it worth keeping in anyone's opinion? Report this Post to the Staff
