Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 11:38 pm I altered your title a little. You had LMC, but that indicates a Lincoln Memorial cent produced 1959-2008. The notation is LSC - Lincoln Shield cent. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/12/2018 10:25 am It is called die flow. Shen the metal is moved around on a die hundreds of thousands of times, these flow lines slowly develops as the die wears. Note on this image how the die ages: They do get worse on other coins: Edited by coop 08/12/2018 12:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
