Lincolns left side lapel is missing and part of his shirt. The two 73's show what looks like a progression of decay. Mark Image: 73D-Lapel.jpg 66.1 KB Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 08/28/2007 12:00 am Very common, sometimes it's a worn die, sometimes its die polishing to eliminate clash marks. Look at cents from 1982, 1983 and 1984 and you'll notice a ton coins like this. It happens for most years, but the dates mentioned are known for a lot of them. Report this Post to the Staff
