Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74016 Posts	Posted 06/20/2025 10:07 pm Not sure what going on the obverse, but I know the reverse is showing a Recurring Die Subsidence error.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19148 Posts	Posted 06/20/2025 10:12 pm Yes, a Recurring Die Subsidence issue. I've come across a few of these. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 06/20/2025 10:21 pm Yes, it looks to be the RDS that is well known for this date. It's unusual since this RDS is only known to affect the reverse die and not the obverse die as we see here. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 06/21/2025 08:04 am I call it "the humpback", I have ran across them before in conjunction with the recurring die subsidence error. It corresponds with the area on the reverse. I started saving the 73D's that have this on the reverse to see how many different dies I can find. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 06/21/2025 4:38 pm I agree that the swelling along Lincoln's back is either an unusual form of Die Deterioration or a die deformation error. The distinction between the two can be difficult to discern at times. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 06/22/2025 3:35 pm I appreciate it but I'm good. Maybe put it in a cardboard 2x2 and label it for future reference. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
