Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 6:57 pm @crr, can you please give us a little indication of what looks off? The color? A design element? Ideally, add a closeup picture of just this area. Thx.

J-Tal Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 8:12 pm I think it might be because the coin has a little higher relief than current cents which are rather flat. Near unc cents of this age are rare to find in circulation so it may be the OP's first encounter with the older Lincoln Cent obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
crr434 New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 06/06/2023 03:01 am to me the lettering looks too big and Lincoln in the center looks like hes missing a leg or sttting to one side. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94932 Posts	Posted 06/06/2023 08:09 am Ok, yes, Lincoln's posture does appear to be a bit odd here. Hard to tell, but maybe the legs took a hit and moved the metal around. A closeup would help. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
