    Some of you know that I have been going thru 3 mint bags of Lincoln cents.
    One of them is a 71D, I am about an 1/8 of the way into this bag and have found a few of these little bee hives on the second to last column.

    A little closer look.

    Hope the photos are detailed enough for everyone to see.
    I need a digital scope.

    I started to look at the obverse to see if I could find a common die marker.
    It is a circular mark and in the gutter of the rim, to the left of the I in IGWT.

    A very sharp looking possible clash. So far the coins I have searched it is unique to bee hive reverse.
    Even the MM placement matches.

    Neat.. I call them Hornet's Nests but they are related to bees so any hive or nest is acceptable.

    I fumbled with that one, I like to call the larger ones on the outside pillars hornet nests.
    These little guys are just bees.

    The number has gone up to 7 of these. Might have to do a give away or something. I am hoping to find a later or earlier die state to go with them.
