Can someone tell me why he doesn't have a beard?   06-20-2009, 05:42 PM   #3 (permalink) allout123 14 Year Old In Training   Join Date: May 2009 Location: Western New York Posts: 40 My Mood: I'm still a beginner, but from what I can see, it looks double stamped (not double'd die'd)...And when a coin gets double stamped, it loses a lot of it's detail. This is just my opinion, so dont take my word for it.   06-20-2009, 05:47 PM   #4 (permalink) micheldura2 Senior Member   Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Lower Alabama Posts: 393 My Mood: Isn't it a little ironic that he was elected president 100 years prior to 1960? He didn't have a beard then either, he only grew one in the fall of 1860 after a little girl suggested he grow one. Last edited by micheldura2; 06-20-2009 at 05:58 PM.

Its common on nearly all copper pennies. __________________ Chase A Byrd Coin Collection | www.byrdecoins.tk Member of the ANA, GNA, RCNA and WINSociety Never, Never, Never Quit ~ Winston Churchill   06-21-2009, 08:51 PM   #7 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 6,186 Well I can see the outline of the beard, but a little to shiny a picture. Of course it still looks nice for a 1960 penny. __________________ the other mark Best Baan Community Empty airtite seeks unwanted coins.

Not only is this extremely common, there is absolutely zero premium for this, and it will actually decrease the value of the coin. The grade will suffer as well. You really need to read a couple of books about errors. You seem to be posting a lot of dirty, damaged, not valuable cents. Take some time, read a book, and learn what you are supposed to be looking for. __________________ I reserve the right to change my mind with new facts, experience, opinions, or viewpoints.

And it is very true that this is not an error. It is very true that this is incredibly common. And it is very true that this is worthless or can hurt the price. It is also very true that reading a book or two could be incredibly beneficial and lead to far more productive discoveries. Sorry if it hurts, but I don't want to sugarcoat things, and in the long run a dose of reality is far more beneficial than not hurting someone's feelings. __________________ I reserve the right to change my mind with new facts, experience, opinions, or viewpoints.

I see you are straight to your point, and if you think what I am posting is not helping me by getting good advice, then why am I here? how and in what way have you told me something beneficial? I do a lot of reading, and do have some coins that are nice and valuable, I am trying to learn about errors. I think it is interesting and I do read about what I am looking for...did your mama beat you?   07-01-2009, 06:31 PM   #13 (permalink) just coins Just coins dealer   Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: upstate NY Posts: 1,313 My Mood: Come on guys don't you know why he does'nt have a beard it's so obvious look at the pic below.

Lincoln cents from 1960-64 are notorious as the “Big chin cents”. Brad M. Brad Meadows Senior Numismatist I also found this out eleven days ago when I posted this. I don't care if it is worthless now...who knows where the wind will blow tomorrow, and which new errors will be worth more than they are today.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
