Dutch-Tigger Valued Member United States 301 Posts	Posted 06/20/2023 08:45 am See how the metal is flowing towards the rim? This is from Late die state issues, this is very visible in the die cavity deterioration. JMHO and observation Also the thinning of the letters show this.

Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 06/20/2023 09:10 am This letters on the edge/rim thing is very common on Lincoln cents from the late 50s through 1968 where they were still using the same old obverse hub which was very worn out until they finally changed it in 1969.
