Learning 79 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/31/2023 07:58 am I promise I'll post the pics once I can get at a better camera to do so. But I guess I'm just curious to find out if on the back side of coin you can see Lincoln's full silhouette coming through. Would it have any value? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/02/2023 11:17 am That is a die event that happens as the die ages. It is called PIDT: (Progressive Indirect Design Transfer) First noted on wheat cents, but as most die events it can happen on other designs as well before the retirement of these dies when they are worn out. Not a premium for these coins as they are common to find. Again these is a die events. Report this Post to the Staff
