<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alurid, post: 2771508, member: 81991&quot;]There is a difference between the two coins you have. Alot of it has to do with the machines that made them. I would say that your 1970-D cent was produced with fairly new Dies, which give it a &quot;High Relief&quot; look. Also if you look at the reverse at the step of the Lincoln Memorial you should notice that the design is lacking/missing</p><p>&nbsp;most likely caused by excessive Die Pressure which caused the metal to move into the obverse Lincoln bust design, which also gives it that deep or as you put it thicker look. </p><p>The machines that make coin have nessasary places where adjustments can be made to them. So that the coins can be kept within the specification prescribed to each type of coin. And those adjustments are made be humans that operate them.</p><p>Just this simple fact allows for many variable to the end product.</p><p>You asked a very indepth question. And I&#039;m not a novelist. I hope this will give you some insight to your inquiry. Keep looking and asking good questions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
