Have access to this 1910-s LWC with die file or gouge marks surrounding the 2nd 1 of the date. Has anyone seen this die used for this date? My guess is it may have been a reworked die from a 1909-s Lincoln?   Edited by collectinsince65

By blowing up the previous image too much it is now pixalated and no details can be seen!

Not sure but sure look too thick for polishing lines - maybe die gouges?

Mark, that's what I was thinking. They seem too big to be polishing lines (Die Scratches).
Errers and Varietys.

This die may have come to an untimely end as there is a rim to rim die crack at the shoulder. This stage of the dies life showing the gouges at the 1 may have been short lived.

CoinCents , maybe the OP can correct me but from the photo there didn't seem to be any lateral or vertical movement of the die face at the crack . Without that it would still be a die crack , but , one with potential to be a Cud. |

Here is a new image of the date closeup. I hope it is clearer to all who view.  |

It looks like die gouges as been mentioned, and yes,below the bust there is a Retained Cud now that it's been pointed out. |

The die crack below the bust either is, is or is very close to, a Retained Cud. It would be useful to take sharp photos of that from maybe four different lighting angles to show it from several angles to really see what is going on there. There are no 1910-S Cuds or Retained Cuds listed on cuds-on-coins yet so this would be a very good find if it is. |

 VLDS could affect it, but the rest of the coin doesn't look like this one. But I was alteration to cover an event that happened to the die. |
