Garanteed to be of interest ONLY to Jeff variety NUTS... After looking thru a box of Jeffs, I went back for a closer look at some that I had set aside for further study. I noticed that many of the 2001-Ps showed Jefferson with rather long eyelashes. So I looked thru some other dates and found the same anomally from other Dates and mints.... Here are some photos titled w/ date nd mintmarks. ********* First-- WITH THE LONG EYELASHES***********8 2001-P Another different coin dated 2001-P Heres a 2004-P And a 2001-D And a 1997-D **************WITHOUT EYELASHES****************** 1988-D 1973-D And a 1980-P I hope this is worth the time you spent looking at them. I cannot guess the cause of the anamolies. The eyelash varieties span over 8 years but share common characteristics..
I have seen the same thing and never paid it much mind! I don't think that this was an approved design change and was probably due to one or more of the Mint employees with too much time on their' hands! Frank
