coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/10/2012 09:48 am Looks like much ado about nothing. The coin you have is an example of die deteriation which is faily common on Zincolns especially in the 80's & 90's. Still a problem even till to day. You can often see this on the reverse of the LP-1-5's. Just a die worn example and part of the result of a cheaper way to make dies/coins. Report this Post to the Staff
