It looks like a bulged die to me. It was worn out and was structurally insecure and collapsing. Anyone else?

 

Yes, worn out dies. Very common question on the forum.

 

Die Deterioration Strike.. Agree to worn die issue

 

These are especially often found in 1986 for some reason. I believe the design was strengthened in 1987 somewhat.

 

Are you talking about the bulge that In God We Trust seems to be on? I have seen several like this. Any added value?

 

Not that I’ve ever heard.

 

I've found many of these. I've only kept really clean ones.

 

I try to find a few 86's but there all or mosty jacked up. Really hard to find good one in circulation @Granbeck @Gilberto Vasquez. They all seem like gilberto's

 

Check the roll prices for 1986 cents. Higher than any date near it.

 

Why is that, I wonder? I read some time ago that a collector was saving any 86 philly's that he came across. So, I started picking them out while roll searching. Anything special I should for, do you think?
