Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74344 Posts	Posted 04/02/2018 7:02 pm This Lincoln Cent is in a Very Late Die State. This is caused by severe die wear (worn down die). You can see the heavy die flows line going outwards (think of fireworks when they explode) from the die striking so many coins. This reverse die could have possibly struck a couple of million coins. Eventually, the die might exhibit Catastrophic Die Failure. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 04/02/2018 7:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
