2001-Lincoln's-Toupee
Doesn't it look as if Lincoln is losing his toupee? I found this unusual on this 2001 cent. Anybody else ever noticed this?

Probably an over polished die issue. https://www.error-ref.com/thinning-...gn-elements/

I agree with over polished or even maybe a little grease in that area.

That's pretty funny, Gigi2 - nice find!
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Yes the "scratches" are from heavy die polishing and the "doubling" on Lincoln's head looks like MD.

EDIT: Looks like "MD" isn't highlighted but maybe " Machine Doubling" is?
