He states that he has a few of these and must be from the same die. Thank you in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/13/2018 12:39 pm Note that those areas are showing incuse marks. (sunk into the coin) Those are coin damage. Looks like someone was altering the coin. If you made a side by side of both coins, they would not be in the same place ( PSD), unless they were on the die. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/13/2018 1:36 pm But 1972 cents didn't have the beard lines on them: The later design did have it on them: But note, the lines are raised on the beard, not incuse. So the coin was damaged. Edited by coop 02/13/2018 1:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I didn't realize that Lincoln's beard had undergone some improvements in detail over the years.
