2TICKLASSIC New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/15/2013 2:53 pm I love coins, what else can I say specifically American!! Too the penny problem question, I found a 1974 Lincoln Cent. The problem is that the 74 is practically unrecognizable while the 19 is pronounced. The same goes for the L I in Liberty and also the in god we trust has a couple of flaws as well . The back seems fine though. Can someone tell me a little about it?, Thanks Steve Report this Post to the Staff

bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 07/15/2013 4:53 pm 2TICKLASSIC A number of coins a person finds in circulation have been circulated meaning, passed through many hands. With all that handling the coin gets worn out over a number of years. Then you start to see unrecognizable dates and others that wear the coins down or PMD ( which is another story) Keep reading this site it has a wealth of knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 07/15/2013 5:03 pm Hi and Another more common phenom. with coins is a little bit of debris, most commonly grease, gets on to the dies and this causes some of the devices to either be missing or just visible. The debris/grease takes up some space between the die and the planchet thus the full strike is not brought up. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/15/2013 7:54 pm Are the devices you mention pushed parallel to the rim. If so it may be coin wrapper damage on the coin. Of course images are a great aid. Welcome to the "Coin Community Family!" Report this Post to the Staff
