Is it my inexperience or is this an error coin. The "IN" in "in god we trust" a s a blob? Thoughts? Thank you.

@esc, first welcome to CCF. Second, to me it looks like this quarter is showing a combination of circulation flattening and having been struck with a tired die.

Going with that small photo it looks like IN took a hit/smear.

Thank you everyone for replying. I am working out a better quality photo that's under the 300kb size restriction. I'll have a few and hopefully better quality up tomorrow. Thanks again!

As I have been taking more close up picture in better light and clearer shots I also noticed the 1 in 1988 has a - near the top of the 1.

I noticed the "1" in 1988 also has a - near the top of the number. If these two pictures I just uploaded need improving just let me know I'm getting better at taking the photos and editing them down to size. I'm also noticing more imperfections. Thanks again everyone! This is fun!
