The "E" in "ONE" looks elongated and skinny and the bottom, is this normal for a 1985 lincoln cent, if not, what would cause that? http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9269/longepennyarrows.jpg
Hello and welcome to Cointalk! It is a bit hard to tell from the pics and I am no expert here but it is likely the result of a cracked die or something along those lines. Others here may be more helpful but you will find lots of good info. Enjoy! J
Welcome to CT. From what I can make out of it, I would guess that the die got some grease in it. That can affect large areas or just a piece of a letter.
