I design the coins you put. Can you tell me where are the differences? For me is normal president bust. Only first to 4 strike with a brain new die will be almost undetectable slimmer, then the die will expand due to the internal strike heat and usury and dilatation of thee material. We discuss about 1/50 of a micron on 5000 struck at least.

File size limitations are brutal. I'd be happy to text anyone a larger shot if anyone would like

Measure the diameter. Looks like a Texas Cent in the making. not stretched enough to break the plating off.
Rest in Peace

From what I can see , the reason there is more space under the chin of the darkened cent is because the red cents chin beard protrudes further down , and the other one is horizontally straight .

Place the regular coin over the "thin Abe" coin and take a picture.
It looks larger to me.

So a please here or there wouldn't kill anyone asking for more shots, would it?


It's the same size and same weight. I see differences under the chin, the hair is bigger, and there is more shoulder/back curve.

This is the result of an over polished die.
