[QUOTE="Get Real, post: 2540433, member: 81585"]I didn't comment on them before because I am not 100% sure about all of them but I will give it a try. On item #1 - I don't not agree with it being "Die Wear" although I do agree that it is very common. I have many and have seen hundreds like that one and some much worse. To my understanding it is caused because that location on the Reverse is opposite of the bottom of Lincoln's bust on the Obverse and there is not enough metal in that location to fill the die on both sides. I agree with the logic but I have some doubts because it wasn't an issue in the older LMCs and you would think that after all this time the mint would have made some minor changes to compensate for this but that is what was explained to me. Item #2 - Already explained, I would like to see some close ups whenever you get around to magnification solution. Item #3 - I'm actually very curious about this one. I have several like this but much, much more pronounced that I have been hoping for answers too. I may be wrong but I don't buy the "Die Deterioration" explanation based on the extreme versions that I have. Item #4 - I totally agree with "Die polishing Lines/Scratches". I hope this helps![/QUOTE]
