<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WoodenSpoon Boy, post: 160376, member: 6537&quot;]I was looking at images of the lincoln cent in there early years of circulation online, with the quality of ms60 or better. I took out some change the other day and noticed something pretty interesting(at least to me).I noticed that the lincoln pennies minted&nbsp; these days have considerably more detail, especially the beard of lincoln.It looks like they took the original cast of the image and scratched in hair lines.I may be wrong or this is most likely old news. But if anything really has changed then would anyone know of the date that this happened.Im guessing retouching has been done throughout the years.It would be nice if they restored it to original condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>1951 cent</p><p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/smellyunderwear/gr80114s.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/smellyunderwear/gr80114s.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/smellyunderwear/gr80114s.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>2006 cent</p><p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/smellyunderwear/usa0406l.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/smellyunderwear/usa0406l.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/smellyunderwear/usa0406l.jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
