JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21597 Posts	Posted 02/09/2026 5:01 pm That is common on Memorial cents. It is caused by a weak strike due to the amount of material needed to fill the cavity of Lincolns head. This leaves less material to fill in the reverse. Just a minting problem and adds no value to the cent. In the future, please crop and orient your photos properly. This is important. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 02/09/2026 7:32 pm to CCF. Yes, JimmyD is correct (and Errers and Varieties on the weak strike). In the future, please be sure to have your images rotated properly (up right) and cropped to the coins edges. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
