chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 04/21/2008 11:50 pm Please look at these pics- the L in Liberty & all the Die Gouges? on the Reverse- They start at the top by the letters "TES OF A" and go down near the T in Cent- also they go right through the spaces in the columns 11,12- (right columns). Curious, if these are die gouges, is this rare for that many to be on a cent?

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 04/22/2008 09:40 am What looks normal? I agree- you cannot see them just looking at the reverse from a distance, but up close- they are on the coin. There are gouges all over the right side of the reverse of the coin- maybe my pics are not clear/close enough to see from far away, but they are there, even under a 5X lens- I'll try to post closer pics later today.

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 04/22/2008 4:11 pm Here are closer pictures of this coin (IMHO)- I do not think this is a normal 1999P LMC. Pics 5,6 &7 are taken upsidedown for a different view etc. Die Striations?/ or Die Gouges? Some of these lines seem too big to be a striations. Comments/opinions are welcomed. The L in liberty- the horizonal bar seems to have been polished to the extent that its only about 1/4 of it's original thickness and the letters on the reverse of one cent- there are portions at the base of some of these letters that have a segment of metal removed and seem highly polished(very Shiny) Image: 1999lincolnjpeg1.jpg 35.03 KB Image: 1999lincolnjpeg2.jpg 40.05 KB Image: 1999lincolnjpeg3.jpg 42.15 KB Image: 1999lincolnjpeg4.jpg 42.82 KB Image: 1999lincolnupsidedownjpeg1.jpg 43.93 KB Image: 1999lincolnupsidedownjpeg2.jpg 47.19 KB Image: 1999lincolnupsidedownjpeg3.jpg 42.78 KB please.
