It's essential to have it in the title. * Hi I am a brand new newbie, I've always wanted to learn more about coin collecting but never had time. I am now retired and excited about my new adventure. I have always saved coins from everywhere but never really knew what to look for. Question: I have a 1973 D Lincoln Penny that looks like it was stamp wrong but I'm not sure. The L in Liberty looks like it's too far over to edge. Thank you for your patience as I'm learning Report this Post to the Staff

Sport New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 11/26/2024 05:00 am I think the reason it looks like the L in Liberty is too far over is because the die used to strike the coin is starting to wear out. Welcome to the community, I am a new member as well. Good luck on your adventure, this is a good place to learn. Report this Post to the Staff

Second, can you please be a little more descriptive about what you are seeing with the coin in hand? Which design elements seem wrong to you? Thx for clarifying.

sickpuppy78501 Pillar of the Community United States 599 Posts	Posted 11/26/2024 08:20 am I'm seeing a very slight MAD, which is another possible cause for the " L on rim" phenomenon. Not saying it adds any premium, but just sayin'. Edited by sickpuppy78501 11/26/2024 08:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
