I try to research before posting but I always like to get your thoughts and feedback as I am new to learning what is happening on these coins I'm looking at. Am I seeing over polished die on Lincoln's jacket below the date as well as possible Die Deterioration on the "0" - top right side of "0" thicker then rest. On reverse possible Die Deterioration on lettering of United States of America. The strangest mark I am seeing is the right side of the memorial roof under "R" looks stretched longer than the other side and longer than I have ever seen before - reminds me of a roof on a Japanese building.

The coat is a typical low area, if you check ebay for that date, you will see most have a low area. The upper right roof looks like a die chip. USoA looks like circulation flattening.

Odee13 Valued Member United States 398 Posts	Posted 03/01/2022 10:37 am Thanks John. I figured because it was a low 7 it would have been considered a LD like the 1970 s. Also thanks for clarification on die chip. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/01/2022 11:57 am The low area on the coin is called die polishing. The zero maybe Machine Doubling, which I feel it the reason for the distortion on the left side rim in the same direction. I feel Machine Doubling causes these tilted die issues we see often on the rims. Report this Post to the Staff
