Here are two more 1987 Lincoln cents. The coin on the left, obverse, the word Liberty looks like it has extra thickness. Look at the bottom of his ear is that a form of doubling? How about the bow tie? That looks different. On the reverse one cent looks doubled. I see the split at the top of the letters. And what is on top of the letters, United States of America I know that's not doubling it has the same markings of the other 87. How about the pillars? What's really cool Lincoln's head was replaced by the zinc bubble that popped. He looks like Jack from Jack in The box hamburgers lol. The coin on the right the date looks doubled and I see no extra thickness on Liberty. And are those die scratches, die gouges and roller lines on the whole obverse? I don't see much on the reverse except that looks like Lincoln's missing the left arm. Thanks everybody for your patience and putting up with me. And I remember a while ago I didn't like you guys but now you rock gracias
To me both coins looks worn. You can see ridge rings beginning to form on both coins. The wear is different but the machines the dies were used on were set differently. Not everything is always the same. There will be differences however minor, but there will be differences.
one set of dies have been polished at least once while the other set have not. That will make them look different.
I think it would be possible to take any random one cent coins and find some type of difference between then. They will be different due to different dies, die wear and other factors. It is possible to find coins that were struck by the same dies.
Is the ridge ring that ring around the inside of the ridge that looks wrinkled Is the ridge ring that ring going through trust and down towards the date. And that's from a worn die?
I'm getting to understand plaiting blisters and now you guys throw more into the equation. Very nice. Oh where oh where does it end LOL thanks everybody
Oh I forgot to ask you what is with them lines going diagonally throughout the whole cent? Can you have die scratches die gouges and roller lines on the same coin?
