coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/25/2021 6:54 pm Extreme die wear. Keep in mind the Steel planchets and the steel dies that year. That combo made these dies ages a lot quicker. thus the dies did some strange things that year. But the die wear is the issue: Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 06/26/2021 01:56 am I would agree that it is a product of Die Deterioration and the Cent being re-plated. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

examiner Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 06/26/2021 08:28 am @ Greasy Fingers- yeah, the first two photos were taken with all 8 LED's shining, but the mint mark photo only has one light source. Here are photos of the obverse and reverse with only one source. Report this Post to the Staff
