Message:: [QUOTE="cherrypickermom, post: 996946, member: 27032"]Hi!So in June I began to collect coins after a 1920 1cent peaked my interest. Anywhoo tonight (actually last night since its after midnight now) I began to search for my 1986 1cent I found in June which has no FG initials on the reverse. It is clean slate no FG. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA does not have thick lettering nor are they too thin. However, the words ONE CENT lettering are thin but clear and visible. Its actually very pretty. On the obverse, the word TRUST has also thin lettering but also clear and visible. There seems to be only a slight doubling on the shoulder back but not sure as whats there is so very suttle. The tone of this cent seems to be a touch of brown with reddish tone to it.  So my point here is while in my search for my 1986 I found a 1987 also with no FG on the obverse. There is a very very suttle F but it actually looks like a little speck as it is so very small. The full F and G is simply no there. The words ONE CENT looks like any other cent (normal), yet in the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AMERICA is quite visible but has a almost melting into the background look (for lack of better description). The letters seem to be drowing into the background??? Please forgive me as I have tried to take photos but do not have an adequate camera. What if anything (and Im sure there is, you smart people you!) can anyone share with me with regard to the cents with no FG. After looking at thousands of coins this sure seems strange to me and would love it if I had some input on this. I have been reading books and go into as many websites as I can to learn as I go (and boy is there much to learn) and even been to coinshows to get a feel, clarity and understanding about the world of coincollecting. Yet no matter how much I read, there are still so many questions, hence my registering to Cointalk. And I thank you as your help is greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]
