1982pennyid Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 02/03/2022 11:43 am Was just wondering what this was I was seeing on the top of Lincoln's head? Looks like it's dented inward but the other side is perfectly straight. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97307 Posts	Posted 02/03/2022 5:12 pm @1982pennyid; are you referring to the curved arc above Lincoln's head? Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/04/2022 7:04 pm Well all the large dates have that issue. So it is not a die wear issue. Did some more side by side comparisons. The small and large dates are found on Proof and Business strike dies. Some new differences noted on the proof/business strike reverses. The proof dies don't have the double lines that the business strike reverse have on the large dates. The reverses on the business/proof design dies are very weak on the small dates on both. So the stronger design is on the large date business strike reverses. Report this Post to the Staff
