    Ok so I have posted a few threads in the last couple days. Wife is off camping so I have some alone time. Sort of..... Anyway here is a 1972 cent with a really strange font (is it Font or called something else?) I'm calling it a Funny Farm balloon cause that's only thing I can think of. It's just stretched in weird ways. Almost comical. Comments are welcome.

    Haha...well that could be I guess but the rest of the "devices" (I believe is the right term) are normal.

    Circulation wear. Smooshiness to a few letters.

    Not an error or font variety of any kind.

    That's one reason we like to see photos showing the whole coin. ;)

    It's perfectly easy for only one part of a coin to get smooshed.

    It's called damage. Lets see, maybe we could coin a phrase for it. I'll start with calling it "peopleidice." LOL
