Error Other | 1918 cent with letters on rim?

[Sheila ruley]

Am I just looking too hard or is there a possibility that there are part letters on the rim? It looks like a D, part of a 0 and maybe a letter T? I have been studying this cent for a while. Maybe I have just stared too long and beginning to see something that is not there on the obverse near the date. Opinions?? Opinions??

PMD from being smashed against a coin or similar object. Catches your attention though.

You can't help but like it. Never been cleaned or holed or bent, 99 years old. A few scars and LIBERrY adds to it's character

Very cool looking Sheila! Nice pics by the way. The rims seem to be in great shape too for a century old circulated wheat.

Nice original looking coin... My pair of doilies would have seen that too Looks like the top of WE TR... I'm in with the PSD also!!!

Never been cleaned

Am I seeing something different here? The first two whole coin shots look like the coin was very cleaned. However, the close-ups look closer to normal. What gives??

I think it is the background color and lighting in the whole coin pics causing a feedback into the lense??? As best I can tell anyway... That is why I switched to a black back ground and indirect lighting as much as possible!!!
