The first few years of Zincolns were plagued by this and other similar problems which is why so many of them simply rot away. Report this Post to the Staff

The best way to tell for sure is if you open a OBW roll of cents and you find two from the same die pair, the marks would be the same on a die issue. On a planchet issue, the lines would be at a different angle. Either way, not a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
