    i got this 1964 penny i see on the liberty word the L is crooked and a little small and is not as visible as the other letters,the letter B i see it a little big and it is not at the level of the others,in the president's chest Lincoln is missing a part,it is possible thatso it was elaborated or damaged by the passage of time also i think the number are a little big 20180109_050337.jpg 20180109_050746.jpg 20180109_045935.jpg 20180109_051247.jpg and if has some value thank you

    The depression across Lincoln's torso is post-mint damage (PMD). Someone may have used a hammer to cause the depression, and it caused the deformation on the reverse in the same approximate location.

    The difference in the size of the letters and the numbers of the date is nothing unusual. It happens all of the time, and if you are going to search Lincoln cents, you will probably see similar occurrences thousands of times though not in the exact same positions. It might benefit you if you would learn more about the minting process. Otherwise, you will be wasting your time with many, many coins like this that have been damaged or altered while in circulation.

    It's only worth 1c. Welcome to the neighborhood @Oscar Guzman !

    Two phrases that should NEVER be used in the same sentence:

    1964-D and RARE

    It honestly looks like it has a lamination that fell off.

    ... unless one is referring to a Peace dollar. [He ducks to evade the brick hurled at his noggin.]

    I thought they were a limited edition Dan Carr piece. [... and that's when the fight started.]
