Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 07:30 am Yes an overpolished die struck this coin, almost certainly in response to a die clash which had previously damaged the obv die.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97062 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 08:29 am Very nice 'over-polished die' a new look for Lincoln. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19193 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 08:54 am Aye, over-polished (abraded) die. I come across two or three a year. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 3:47 pm 1974 had an even stronger example: The possible reason for this over polishing is to rescue a die to keep it being used. I suspect the Feeder Finger Damage maybe the reason for this much removal of the dies devices. But that die will be retired soon when this happens.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 01:05 am I have more than 5000 1974-D cents in Brilliant Uncirculated condition with the same type of Over Polished Die error. I purchased a mint sewn bag that had a few different die pairs with different areas of over polishing on Lincoln's image. Here's an image of one that was certified.
