snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 07/30/2025 2:47 pm Good Afternoon! First, let me start by giving Kudos to those of you who regularly search pennies - they give me a headache!! Anyway!! Sure looks like a split serif to me. Is it real or are the zinc-pixies messing with me (again!)? Thanks for taking a look! Report this Post to the Staff

snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 07/30/2025 3:02 pm So I think I answered my own question - I should've looked a little harder at some more pennies before posting! They also look like they might have split serifs - though the ones I just looked at - not quite as noticable to me. Guess those darn zinc-pixies did it again! Report this Post to the Staff
