Lyle Kruse Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 12/15/2013 9:42 pm I have noticed that the new Union Shield cents have a lot less detail on Lincolns face, most noticeably on his beard. The LMC from the 90's and onward show his beard in full detail, but after that it just seems to blend in with his cheek. Can anyone tell me why this is? Report this Post to the Staff
