    Is it just me or is the word "LIBERTY" misaligned some? 20160823_204016.jpg 20160823_204327.jpg 20160823_204337.jpg 20160823_204715.jpg 20160823_205212.jpg 20160823_205222.jpg 20160823_205452.jpg 20160823_205258.jpg

    Not stumped at all..
    Actually easy.. You have a slight Misaligned Die Strike on the Obverse which is common on Cents minted on the 60s and 70s. You can actually see the slight False Double Rim to the left of the letter L in LIBERTY.
    And the funny lettering is due to wear and tear because of 55 years of circulation!
    I collect these :watching:
