BZna26 New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 06/11/2025 08:09 am Hey everyone, Found this 1983 Lincoln Cent with a few interesting things going on: The reverse appears to be rotated ~15° off from the obverse There's a nice die crack running from Lincoln's shoulder through his cheek? I'm not exactly sure what all is happening with this one and would love your thoughts. (Don't mind the incorrect slab, it's all I have) Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8757 Posts	Posted 06/11/2025 09:05 am Wow! There is a lot going on with this coin. Very heavy polishing on the obverse and reverse due more than likely to extreme clashing. I'm not sure if that is a die crack or just die damage of some sort in the vest going northwest up the center on the obverse. Nice rotation too, congrats on the find. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

I never thought of doing that. I just spent 2 hours doing this to all of my slabbed coins. Report this Post to the Staff
