tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 10/15/2022 12:20 am Thanks for all the great replies! Still not entirely sure what went on here, but if Mike's stumped then it'll probably stay as an unknown. Just to clarify about any plating comments, here is an image of the second coin. It just isn't as nice so I used the other one in my posting. But every mark is exactly the same on this coin as well so pretty much has to be die damage as I see it, not something with the plating or planchet. 1983 Lincoln Memorial cent mint error - die damage coin 2 reverse Report this Post to the Staff

And thanks Mike for adding about this being die damage. Certainly what it seemed like to me. As I understand die polishing and as OGG said, polishing won't usually affect the deepest part of the dies. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98698 Posts	Posted 10/15/2022 10:04 am As I understand it, Polishing affects the highest part of the die - which turns out to be the deepest part of a coin. Also isn't the reverse side of a coin usually the anvil die? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
