JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 02/03/2020 12:59 am I was looking through some 77's philadelphia minted Lincoln cents and I came across this one, I compared it to a bunch of others but none looked like this, so I went to the PCGS website and checked out some photos on there and still none with this beard. I know it may look normal at first glance but if you look to where the arrow is pointing I'm talking about this very detailed groove and not the beard line itself.

JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 02/03/2020 9:06 pm The examples I compared it to were all circulated so that probably plays a factor in why I couldn't see it on them. The ones from PCGS still don't quite match either and I'm not quite sure everyone is seeing what I am referring to completely, at the end of Lincolns chin there is an indent which I thought was normal, until I started looking and realizing this indent is not on any of the ones I compared it to and the ones I compared it to had a fairly well rounded chin with no well defined indents like this one. But I will 2x2 it and set it aside for now. Edit, also the bow tie being doubled like coop said is the normal design, almost all of it really is normal accept for the indent at the end of the chin.
