1960 Lincoln Cent Date error

Okay.. I knew something didn't look right with this coin.. I saw a rim defect on the left bottom of the obverse.. The 0 in the date looks like something is under it.. The BER in liberty is big.. So is WE.. I took an upside down shot of the obverse and looked at the date turned the right way and its looks like the date is on top of the large date.. of course, I could be wrong.. On the reverse, the U and S in PLURIBUS are connected.. I took the best pics I could..

Die Deterioration, IGWT. PMD U&S. It took a hit and some material was moved.

 

Die Deterioration is the cause.. As stated before

 

PMD, worn die and circulation wear

 

I agree. Jim

 

I've been in circulation for 73 years. Would you like to know how much my stomach has expanded in that time?

 

I'm only 58 and my birthday suit needs ironing

 

No thanks.

 

Alrighty then.. One of these days I'll get it right.. I appreciate the honesty from everyone.. I really thought I had something this time.. lol.. Thanks y'all..

 

.. "I took an upside down shot of the obverse and looked at the date turned the right way and its looks like the date is on top of the large date.. of course"

This coin is a small date ( red) over large date( blue). The green is a wide RPM.
