<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2579898, member: 77413&quot;]There are certain characteristics that are common with Lincolns. Since the O in ONE and the start of E PLU are opposite Lincoln&#039;s shoulder and coat on the obverse side of the coin, they sometimes don&#039;t get their fair share of the metal. Even on a mint version of the coin they may be weak.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now add wear. If the letters are shallow to start with, it takes less wear to erase them completely. Your coins may be a combination of a weak strike followed by wear, wearing away the weakest letters faster than the rest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
