With the heavy mintage of coins during and after the war (almost 1 billion 1946 cents), it's common. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/21/2024 7:49 pm to the CCF L on the rim is just an ebay error that's not an error. It's to separate people that don't know any better and their money. Report this Post to the Staff

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4037 Posts	Posted 03/21/2024 10:09 pm Now, now, it's for sure worth more than $0.01, right? If that's the case, then even a 1909-S VDB or a 1955 Doubled Die is only worth $0.01, but we all know that the copper value is higher than that.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/24/2024 05:40 am to the CCF! The term ' L on the rim' isn't a recognized variety type for the 1946 Lincoln Wheat cent. All of the one cent coins struck in 1946 have the word LIBERTY in exactly the same place with the same spacing between the L and the rim. The term ' L on the rim' is used to try to confuse novice collectors into believing that it's an error or variety with a premium value. You can find lots of terms like this used by sellers on many different online auction pages. Almost all of these terms mean nothing. If you look at the PCGS Coinfacts images for the 1946 cent you'll see that the L is very close to the rim. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...6-1c-rd/2743 The wear on your coin has joined the rim to the L, but this is also normal.
