Cool! Thanks for the link. I am still fairly new to coin collecting, and extremely new to the error part of it all.
The "L" looks like a clogged die plus The "L" looks like a clogged die plus many late 1980's have that ripple area below the rim steching the motto, not a doublED die. I actually do not know what caused this ripple - maybe someone else knows????? It almost looks like when it went thru the up-setting mill it did not receive enough pressure or the planchets were to thin or the die was striking the coin with too much pressure???????????? If anyones knows please let us in on it. It was mostly during the mid to late 1980's.
