Mooseyking New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 08/16/2025 1:16 pm I have the penny with the L in liberty on the rim. I have tried to do some research to see if it is an error or not. I haven't found anything. It probably is normal but I just wanted some feedback to learn more about it. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 08/16/2025 1:18 pm L on the rim is not an error. It's just normal die wear - as coins are struck, the dies spread out from the center. Overuse the die and the spread goes further. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
