Hi all,
Newbie on the loose. Anyway would those of you with multiple 1925 Philadelphia Lincolns take a look at the last numeral of the dates. Maybe my eyes deceive me but I've got one with your standard rounded lower part of the 5 and one with a 5 that is much more angular that being instead of the start of the curve it drops downward and back at a 110 degree angle then finishes with a straight line back finishing out the would be curve.

Oh and I'll try to find the cable for my digital camera (lost!) but I tried to be as clear on this as possible. I'll post pics as soon as I can.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no difference in the 5. All 1925's were made from the same master die, so there's no way the 5 can be different between any of the mints. I think what you're seeing is die and coin wear. You can read about the 1925 here:

Well, I'll tak a photo and blow it up, maybe that'll set my eye straight, could just be circulation damage that happened long ago. BadThad thanks for the link, I bookmarked that one..Thanks!

There were a few RPM's for this year and only one DDO is known for the 25S, but anything is possible..Pics would be great!
