Hello,
My name is Holly. I love coins but obviously I do not know enough about the subject. Please forgive me in advance for not using the correct terminology. I have a 1987 lincoln cent that looks like the "8" very small. Is there any such thing as small date 1987 coin or is it supposed to be that way. Hope this makes sense I am so embarrassed to even post this but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Holly

Re: 1987 Lincoln cent
Welcome HelloKittyHolly. Just picture us as a bunch of (mostly old) long lost Aunts and Uncles. lol: It can be hard to post the first time but gets easier the more you post. We really really really like helping people with their questions about the hobby we enjoy but need images to give accurate answers.

Re: 1987 Lincoln cent
IMO it looks OK to me.....compare the '8' to the '1'.....
as the '9' & '7' have long "tails", making the "8" look small(ish)

Re: 1987 Lincoln cent
The height difference in the numbers does give it the illusion of being smaller.
And your second image is clear enough to see the date. Well done!
