Pinenut Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 01/22/2010 04:46 am I'm a noob so this is a meaningless reply, but I don't see any rub and no marks on Lincoln (maybe a small one on lapel) just some in the obverse field. MS-65? Report this Post to the Staff

eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 02/16/2010 09:32 am IMHO you don't let this baby go for a penny less than a C-Note. The almost pedantic attention to detail on these beards is unsurpassed. $100BN! Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 02/16/2010 11:14 am That's because new dies were created and used in 1916. All Lincolns from this year exhibt sharp detail.....or at least they should. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 02/16/2010 11:32 am From: Hub design changes to occur in US minor coins (non-gold) of the 20th Century (citation: http://users.scronline.com/lockem/2...ntury.txt)... "Hmmm, David Lange agrees with Breen that a new hub was cut from new plaster in 1916. On well struck specimens it can be seen that the later date coins have more detail in the beard, with a series of very fine incused marks running along the jaw marking the beard. On the earlier coins this is seen only as a series of very fine (sometimes blurred together) wavy lines. Lange notes that 1916 proofs show more fine detail than any other year. Others disagree on the above point. An alternative view is that in 1916 the hub was hand "re-engraved": note how all of the new details are incuse. That the VDB was also added by hand in 1918, but that a new hub was cut in 1919. Note changes in the bow tie details. I have not gotten adequate coins to confirm or deny this point of view. Voiced by Robert Julian." Report this Post to the Staff
