ninamason Pillar of the Community United States 1227 Posts	Posted 12/26/2012 03:37 am Because they're not much circulated. Truly, that's it; I see these occasionally as old as 1995, where they've been just sitting around and haven't really been used and haven't toned. I suspect that at some point in these years, Lincoln's portrait was "freshened up" (sort of the way his wart disappeared when the large-head bills began and some of his wrinkles disappeared when we moved to colorized bills), and the result is this more detailed-looking, sharp, clear bust.

ninamason Pillar of the Community United States 1227 Posts	Posted 12/26/2012 04:47 am Please explain . . . mint cello? My first thought was "Monticello," but now all I can see is a Peppermint Patty playing a string instrument. Report this Post to the Staff

mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 12/26/2012 08:38 am The LMC on top has what looks like PMD on the obverse in the 6 o'clock position. The LMC on the bottom has a wider rim or edge on the left side. Maye they look different because of different dies. There's always room for Cell-O. Report this Post to the Staff
