(This is not my coin) I am very confused on how this would be PMD or coin roll machine. There are no indications of anything coming into contact with it and the bottom of the L is completely missing. It seems to be part of the vertical part of the L is missing also with no abrasions dents or dings. How does something hit it hard enough to reshape it without leaving any marks?     *** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. ***Edited by Fresh Find

Metal movement = damage. There's absolutely no way this can happen during the minting process. It took a well placed hit, causing the L to get pushed to the side. It's PMD and not a mint error. Just a spender. Edit: Other CCF members might be able to explain it to you better than I did.  Errers and Varietys.

May even have been a vending machine coin where the machine mech hit the L and moved it. OP coin.......  Here is an example of vending machine damage from the SEARCH box:  Edited by Marv65

 Metal was displaced by some mechanism after minting. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

I edited your title. The L is PMD. The obverse is a minor MAD/rim fin. John1  |

Agree--post strike damage. Copper is a relatively soft metal which can be moved/reshaped when hit.

Its had over 40 years of circulation to wear off any marks.

@Coinfrog @Dearborn @John1
How does that make the bottom of the L disappear?
