lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1655 Posts	Posted 01/10/2025 5:36 pm No, just a normal cent. L on the rim is definitely not a thing, all cents of that era had the L close to or touching the rim. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 01/10/2025 6:27 pm @gru, we normally advise folks that unless letters are starting to fall off the edge of the coin, then there isn't a numismatic premium. I agree with the above statements that this amount of offset is very common and the coin is not worth more than face value.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10029 Posts	Posted 01/11/2025 11:58 am For a letter to letter/number to be spaced differently than on all other coins of a specific type/date is impossible to be a mint error because of the way coin dies are made. Understanding the process will help someone be able to determine what is and is not PMD or just mistaken perspective. How coin dies are made/used: :arrow: https://www.coinnews.net/2014/01/06...oduce-coins/ As to the L on rim, this is a recent ebay fad from people trying to hype up something that is just part of the design (nd or Die Deterioration) while hoping to sucker people out of their money. Don't feel badly b/c we have a lot of people coming here with similar things! How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
