    You'd be hard pressed to find any two coins that were identical, different dies, different die states, different striking pressure, etc.

    Could you elaborate on what you mean by “ not like the others”
    It looks like a regular cent with a scratches on the steps.

    Sure. AMERICA the letters all thin gradually to the rim .

    Maybe the pressure did that. Thanks Icutler . I was just curious .2 billion minted ,and the paper roll was green on the ends . Weak strike the whole roll anyway. Thanks again

    That is Die Deterioration from a worn die. You can tell by the flow lines.
    Nothing unusual, all dies start to wear out from the constant striking of 100’s of 1,000’s of planchets.

    Thanks greenstang ! Seen the term “flowlines “ in reading so there it is . I did just finish most of cuds in coins . Found two other BU 1964 1C rolls . DDR hunting or a best found that could book . 2 coins from there have this anomaly at UNITED that start in the field and ends near rim with NI unaffected over it . See pic :
