    Hi the LI in LIBERTY on this 1986 D penny looks odd. Not sure if there is MD going on or something else. The bottom line on L looks like it is very light maybe a greaser? Have a great day. 1986 d penny liberty.jpg 1986 d penny obverse.jpg 1986 penny reverse.jpg 1986d penny lib 2.jpg

    Looks like a worn die with some grease or debris in the L.

    I ain’t feeling it. I just don’t know enough to agree with you. Looks like a split letter. Please forgive me

    Split letter? Huh? o_O

    Anyways..
    Look at the two following captures.
    One is the Cent without outline and the other has the outline. Do you use reading glasses? Look at both pictures back and forth until you start seeing the faint beginning of the die deterioration issue which will turn into a full blown ridge ring.

    Yeah but I see it at bottom left. But ok you win. It’s just so hard for me explain or see this kind of thing when I don’t know this coins future use of a die. Baby steps. Thanks for walking me thru this. Oh I kinda see it now. Man alive. There’s no end to this Trouble shooting. Thanks. And we all need glasses
