In LIBERTY the L is on the Cud and the T looks like a J to me. What's the value?

Pending sharp, closer-in pics, I'm thinking the T took some hits in circulation--moved metal, not uncommon.. The L touching the rim is a design placement--perhaps with a touch of Die Deterioration. Not a mint error. Value for this piece runs from 1-5 cents (low grade, common circulated Wheat cent value).

What does the reverse look like?

@crys, first welcome to CCF. Second, when I enlarge and crop your picture to show just LIBERTY, the picture becomes quite pixelated. This type of close-up image is what folks are asking for though. I agree that the circulation wear has slightly distorted some of the letters based on what I can see.

To CCF! Just seeing a normal circulated Wheat cent with damage ( PMD).
