Sherrow01 New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 01/05/2026 10:37 pm Hello CC. I recently acquired an OBW roll of 2025 shield pennies. Once opened and looked through, I found about a dozen that had the exact same marks: 3 raised humps on Lincoln's chest, another raised "L" shape off his back, and on the reverse a larger raised "L" shape. Any idea as to what would cause this? Much appreciation and Happy New Year. Report this Post to the Staff
