Looking at an overlay of a shield cent will help us see that it is Die Deterioration and over polishing of the dies issues.   Edited by coop

How does it help us see that? How does it explain the ridge around the obverse?

Also the over polishing removes part of the fields. So when the die deteriorates, then it reduces the height of the devices. Making the ridge you are seeing. The ridge you are seeing above the 4: Does it flatten down with a toothpick?

The circular ridge is also a manifestation of Die Deterioration. It sort of "swallows" the peripheral letters, leaving them thinner than normal. Technically, the die face is retreating to the level of the deepest parts of the letters, where the letter recesses are thinnest. Error coin writer and researcher.

I wonder why so many of the LSC have chips and/or scratches in that particular area if the shield? |

durkastani: how did you come by this, in a roll or get it in change or ? Was it pretty obvious at first sight?
And coop: do you mind if I save that jpeg?

Their is no ADDED value on LDS coins, except for the 1922 no/weak D cents and, well, basically any large cent, Half Cent, and half dollar die variety and morgan VAM. Edited by ChildOfTheWheat

It just seems like more than a worn die I think because of how uneven the lower line of Lincoln's bust is.

My images are for all to use. No problem. Here is a guide to show how many coins are struck up to the die states.  Note the lower numbers of the first three die states. (these are the ones I prefer) By the time the LDS coins are struck, the die has made a lot at that point and the devices are fading. 250,000-650,000 coins at that point. |
