Need a little help

[wolfmaiden]

I have been looking a lot but not posting a lot. I love to md and enjoy looking through loose change for errors or possible errors. I am new to the coing thing so I thought I would bring it to the experts. Take a look and let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advance for looking and sharing your knowledge. You guys are great. Here goes.

Missing L in Liberty?


Weak initials?


199?


Striations?


Fre?


Xtra filling between wing and letters?


Does Lincoln have a cold?

The ones that are missing letters were struck with grease in the die so it didn't stamp the letter.
The extra metal on the coins are cuds which happens when a die gets old and worn out and a piece of the die breaks off.
I think the last penny has a die crack.
Do the striations on number 4 stick up?
If so it might be a die crack.

 

[wolfmaiden]

Yes the striations do stick up. Thanks for the reply, I was beginning to think everyone was looking but no one was talking. I appreciate the info.

I think die cracks too. Great Eye to see these.
