 Nice find CM. I only consider a prisoner cent when the bars are on both sides of Lincolns bust. With only bars on the right side,he can escape and not be a prisoner. Thus, not a prisoner cent  John1  |

Nice one CM. I didn't know Lincoln was getting locked up as early as the 60's.

Bars on the right, bars on the left, it makes no difference, he can always get out the back way through the Memorial. lol 11997755, There's clashes in just about all the years. 1959 started them with the Lincoln Memorial, thankfully they are continued with the Shield cents. |

I almost forgot, does anyone see a doubled column in bay 9?

The lump under the date is from an over polished die to remove a strong die clash. Note the area that is missing:  Bay #9 is an area over polished as well. Note the the columns are not straight looking. When the fields are polished, the bays will be shortened and the columns will get distorted, just like your coin. So the biggest issue is the abrasion on the die from the polishing. Edited by coop

I see, thanks Coop. I almost wish they'd leave these clashes alone. Sometimes they do more damage than the good looking clashes.

Imagine what this coin would have looked like if they hadn't scrubbed the die. Very nice clash, and THIS is an over polished die for ya!

Most of the person who use the coin for the purpose it was created never notice this. It is just the obsessed ones like us that notice these things. LOL To everyone else it is just a penny. (A term a true coin collector never uses)
