<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwebb00001, post: 1530662, member: 40278&quot;]I went through 8 rolls of pennies and came across some good finds but this is one I can&#039;t find an explaination for. I thought first, gas bubble, but there should have been more of them so I took a closer look and this was actually stamped in at mint. The spacing was allowed for in the two letters. So then I thought maybe it was time to get some more experienced eyes on this penny. It is a 1997 Lincoln Memorial Cent having the following at the top, &quot; IN GOD W-E TRUST &quot;. There are a few places where grease had filled small pockets of the die and caused some dimpling in a few of the letters on both sides of the coin. The letter S in of the same phrase as I previously mentioned has a mild doubling effect at the bottom of the letter. </p><p>My real question is: &quot;Why is there a dash here on this cent in the wording??&quot; </p><p>Any help solving this mystery will be greatly appreciated.</p><p>This is a photo of the mysterious dash at 100x magnification.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; [ATTACH]202234.vB[/ATTACH] </p><p>This photo was taken at 400x magnification.[ATTACH]202235.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
