    Greetings,

    For your enjoyment, or ridicule, I have attached a few photos of Lincoln cents with various things going on, or not.
    First is a 1939 where Abe has an eyelid bump. Didn't show too well in the photo.
    1942 with either a lamination error or something was at one time attached and is no longer. Blow up the photo.
    1946 D, mint mark is crooked. This may be a known condition (perfectly normal) but it looked a little funny to me.
    1951 S has an extra long upper serif on the S.
    1956 BIE, extra junk between the B and E.

    Let the scorn and disdain commence.

    1946d looks kinda funny to me -- about to check mines

    The 42 looks like it has some sort of residue, not a lamination.

    Until 1989 all mms were added to the dies by hand, so the 46D isn't special although it looks interesting.

    51S looks like a die chip

    56 is a BIE as mentioned

    You can do the additional research to see if the 39 is a DDO as mentioned

    The other thing about the 46D is the 4. Weird, huh? I think that is he only year the mints used that style.
