Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 12/12/2024 8:13 pm @fal, yes I agree with you. These are both explained by there having been a bit of grease in the die used to strike this coin.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73747 Posts	Posted 12/12/2024 8:26 pm Could be an over polished die issue on the reverse. The mint mark appears to have circulation flattening and maybe a hit. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

EBrown New Member Canada 17 Posts	Posted 12/13/2024 04:37 am I believe a heavily polished die is the answer to most of the anomalies. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 12/13/2024 08:40 am to CCF. I think that this is a die over polishing issue here. I, myself have a 1969 Lincoln Cent that has the last 9 in the date partially 'erased' from die polishing. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
