<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3939260, member: 15199"]In that photo of VV 58-001, they are only looking at the small extension on the upper -left curl of the '9' and the bottom tight of the B in liberty, and that is it. I really do not see either on your coin. The one in VV is a very minor one and your coin in nice condition should show those if it had them.</p><p><br /></p><p> The line you see in the center of the numbers is sometimes reflection from angled lights, and sometimes, especially on mint cents with little to no wear it is because there are very slight angles (bevels) on the top of the numbers and letters of the coin so the die will withdraw after striking easier. Early die strikes can show them, but they become more rounded after thousands and thousands. These wear quickly in circulation. IMO, Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
