Ok here is a little of what I'm smoking. :watching: It seems easy for many here to almost reflexively say PMD. This is a case where it clearly is...
PMD or Mint error? Almost looks like a "G" to the southwest of the top of the last T in trust. [ATTACH]in trust. [ATTACH]
At first glance it looks like PMD. But on closer inspection I wonder. The coin is in such good condition overall.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Looks like it was put into an old fashion mechanical bottle cap press.
cwart your thoughtful reply is very appreciated. I'm new to this I have a lot to learn. I can't get any closer than with the pictures I've taken....

Very much like VistaCruiser69s 2023 Cent, here is one that has been in circulation until I found it today. Note the Zinc looks like it is on top...
I just found this one and it reminded me of this thread. I'm going to start a separate thread but here is one pic. [ATTACH]
Hell of a find VistaCruiser69. Congrats
Thanks everyone. I just noticed the U in "TRUST" is also weak.
Would this be considered a weak strike of the "I"[ATTACH] , PMD, something else or even an error at all? Please share your reasoning..... I'm...
I think I understand, at last. Thanks everyone for your patience. I'm new it this and I just love finding errors. I'm just not very good at...
