1960D copper penny L in LIBERTY is sideways

Sorry the pictures are not that great, but you should be able to see that the "L"
in LIBERTY is sideways. I am guessing they printed LIBERTY first then put the rim on
and that caused the L to end up sideways. What do you think?

Looks like they minted it upside down too. It just got smashed. Damage not an error.

 

The 60's were very prone to "mushing" of the L in Liberty. Cause? I'm not sure but it's very common and not of any extra value. Sorry.

 

Iditarod!!!

Maybe the Cent got run over by a sled

 

Thanks everyone....I sure do appreciate your evaluation....Think I am going to keep it anyways....Just because it just aint right...Like me sometimes.. I do not think it was run over by a sled cmp9ball...If it was, especially the sled you pictured,I bet there would be more stuff broken than just the "L"

 

The problem may be caused by grease.

 

Grease? Huh.....I did not know that.

 

Hey everyone, I have a question....I keep finding pennies that are thicker on one side than they are on the other....Seems really odd....Is this PMD...Getting squished in the coin rolls?... or? This isn't a very good picture
( Sorry...I seem to do that alot ) But I am sure I am not the only one who has run into these pennies.

 

Sounds like finning. It would be good to see full views on both sides.
