    That does look unusual. Full pics of the coin might also be helpful.

    Yes. Full pics from your cell phone please.
    Then that way we can see what is truly going on. It might just be rim damage Or Misalignment die error. Hard to tell from these pix.

    It's worth just a few cents. Though mildly interesting, the anomaly is not really worth a premium.

    The L on the rim is the result of a well used deteriorating master hub, possibly a worn out die and circulation wear/metal movement.

    The L on the rim is caused by the wear on the die. Fairly common and it’s worth one cent.

    Well, as a Wheatie, it’s worth between two and five cents. ;)
