<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 653645, member: 1242&quot;]I see nothing on the Date! Also, the Letters in &quot;IN GOD WE TRUST&quot; have actually been smashed or compressed, causing the to spread out West and East somewhat. I see a lot of Lincolns through the 80&#039;s and 90&#039;s with this smashing or compression of the Letters but still do know the cause. One would think that it was an effect of Die Deterioration but I have seen similar smashing, compression and even ripping or damage (gouging) to the same area which is caused by Coin Rolling Machines. Therefore, I suspect that this may be the cause but can&#039;t be sure! This phenomena occurs inside the rim and generally all the way around the inside circumference of the coin. However, since the Letters iin &quot;IN GOD WE TRUST&quot;, the far left Letters in LIBERTY and sometimes the far right digits in the Date are only effected, it is hard to tell that the phenomena runs around the entire inside circumferece of the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
