I actually got a lot of Lincoln coins ive had put up for years and just now slowly going through them.. Thanks for your advise and opinions. If you look at the t's in the word states you can see what I'm asking about and one the front you can see the line going through all the words up top.. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75042 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 09:23 am Just common Die Deterioration, caused by a worn die issue, from striking a ton of planchets at the U.S. Mint. It's a spender. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 11:38 am During the striking process the metal has to be moved around a lot. So often STATES is weak on the cents. Sometimes it is blamed on Struck Through Grease issues. As you mentioned about the 'Ts' it is weaker but stronger outside the area where the strongest metal movement happens. So it could be more of an issue with metal movement, rather than a Grease Fill on the die. Neither is worth a premium. But I thought I would mention both so you will know what can happen on this area of the cents. As mentioned, no premium for these. But that is what you are seeing. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 12:20 pm with Coop concerning metal movement, but I generally refer to it as metal or material flow. Under pressure the material flows in the path, with the least resistance. Commonly seen in this area opposite the bust. The bust can be a resource hog taking up material and filling in first. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 02/27/2019 12:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
