<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dougmeister, post: 2593947, member: 56842&quot;]I was counting the denticles on an 1859 Indian Head cent (the main photo from Wikipedia... link <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Head_cent#/media/File:NNC-US-1859-1C-Indian_Head_Cent_(wreath).jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Head_cent#/media/File:NNC-US-1859-1C-Indian_Head_Cent_(wreath).jpg" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse has (unless I&#039;m counting incorrectly) 125. I assumed the reverse had the same, but then I thought I&#039;d better double-check. I counted 129.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was confused. I counted again. Same results.</p><p><br /></p><p>I counted a 1909-S. I got 136 obverse, 129 reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Am I losing my mind?</p><p>2) If not, why a different number on the reverse than the obverse?</p><p>3) If not, why would the number change over the years? I can understand minor design changes, but who really notices the number of denticles?!</p><p>4) If they have changed, how many times have they changed?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
