solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 11/23/2013 01:10 am I spent some time checking random Lincoln cents for Double dies and stuff. So while searching how the hair go's, I discovered that in 2010 they changed the hair style. This means all Lincoln cents from 1959 to 2009 had the same hair style. (Or appears like that) I really didn't look over that many so not 100% sure what years. Report this Post to the Staff

solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 11/23/2013 02:23 am I didn't look over the wheat cents but I will do that later. If you look in the right spot, you see a few hair lines are different. It's recommend by me to hold them this way in hands to see it. That's how I found it out. @King, lol yeah he was.

CoinDan98 Pillar of the Community United States 1053 Posts	Posted 11/23/2013 03:15 am Definitely see the difference. That begs a question: is there a transitional obverse variety to look for now? ( I. E. 2010, obv of 2009?) Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: That begs a question: is there a transitional obverse variety to look for now? ( I. E. 2010, obv of 2009?) No because the master hub is reduced from a master model each year and the date is on the model. So all the 2009 dies came from the hub withthe old hair style, and all the 2010 dies came from a different model with the new hair style. When the 2009 cent were authorized it called for the obv design to be the same as the obv used in 1909. They didn't do that. But they did change it to a much more closely matched design to the 1909 in 2010. Edited by Conder101 11/23/2013 2:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
