Anyway would those of you with multiple 1925 Philadelphia Lincolns take a look at the last numeral of the dates. Maybe my eyes deceive me but I've got one with your standard rounded lower part of the 5 and one with a 5 that is much more angular that being instead of the start of the curve it drops downward and back at a 110 degree angle then finishes with a straight line back finishing out the would be curve. Oh and I'll try to find the cable for my digital camera (lost!) but I tried to be as clear on this as possible. I'll post pics as soon as I can. Report this Post to the Staff

All 1925's were made from the same master die, so there's no way the 5 can be different between any of the mints. I think what you're seeing is die and coin wear.
