Keep in mind that this area on the reverse of the Lincoln Memorial cent is opposite the deepest area on the obverse which is Lincoln's shoulder. This area on the reverse is often found to be weak because the metal flows into the deep obverse. It could also be caused by the reasons above, but I feel it's mostly caused by poor metal flow into this area. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

Where the reverse shows shallow detail, the obverse immediately underneath is where Lincoln's shoulder/bust is--lots of space to fill with only a fixed amount of metal. Not that uncommon with memorial cents. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 09:54 am Both are the same issue. Check the weight of the planchet. It might be slightly less than normal. But this is common to see that issue. Note the tops of the devices are normal sized? When there is not enough planchet material, then area will not have enough metal to fill out the full devices. When the tops of the devices are missing, there is a Grease Filled Die issue. But either way this happens sometimes a lot. Report this Post to the Staff
