1917 Lincoln weak strike or just 102 years wear?

Really difficult to compare the three I have and any help would be appreciated. Also the R in Liberty doesn't look like a chip does anyone know if it is or if it's slag?

Circulation wear

 

A well worn cent. Could be a die chip on the R. Slag is not a term use in numismatics that i know of.

 

Apologies to all the British members.

 

Please use a dictionary if you don't know what a word means.
No apologies necessary.

I did buddy.. I always do.. I love to learn new words and the origins of words. I also notice that certain words have a slang definition also..
Have a great day. Coffee time.

 

You looked it up and still got it wrong. So sad.

 

My apologies, in my youth I was a MIG welder and the word had a totally different meaning. It was material that was chipped off after I would weld two pieces of metal together...yikes!!!

 

You're right about that!

What do you mean? Why are you telling me this? Are you ok? I know what a slag is. But it has different meanings also. Sheesh.. Leave it alone!

 

Settle down, guys!

Weakness due to strike for Lincoln Cents is more often encountered for pieces struck in the early to mid 1920s. The mint system was preoccupied with striking silver dollars during that period, and cent and nickel dies were more often pushed beyond their limits. The 1922 Plain Cent is a prime example of this.

 

I know her

 

Which one?

 

100 years of wear and circulation. Questionable color (cleaned).

 

Oh definately cleaned throughout the decades before I put it away and can't even remember when I came across it. But because it's in a cardboard holder tells me at least 25 years.
Hmmm...think if memory serves me right that is what caught my attention but the mintage year was what I enjoyed getting in pocket change. Although I didn't look through the couns I put aside, I did put them in protector and in my good old tupperware stored in closet. Seriously have not gone this sea of coinage in my younger days. Drinking was top priority..then marriage and family and now with 2 years to go...fear...jk..lol

 

Never ceases to amaze me, for the content offered anyways?

 

I know this was once part of the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. When the hotel was demolished I am sure this piece of art was sold to someone or some company. Does anyone who or which company?

 

No need to apologize, I was also a welder and knew what you were talking about.

 

Seeing that the Riv opened in 1955 and the show, "Crazy Girls", was the longest running live performance in Vegas history, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this bronze facade made it's way to one of the museums like the "Neon Museum".
