  @mable1002000 If you look closely, you'll notice all the letters IN GOD WE TRUST are different, not just the N. It's like another font was used. Better check on LIBERTY and the numbers too.

  What year is that back coin? It is not usual for the Mint to remaster designs now and then. For example, look at a 1968 cent and then a 1969 one.

  Compare your coin to cents from 1958, 1959 and 1960 and see if they vary.

  The Lincoln Cent obverse has undergone many minor changes during its long period of use.

  All glory is fleeting.
