<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Larry Pelf, post: 2650658, member: 85245&quot;]Though initially coined with the same matte surfaces as the 1909 VDB cent, this issue is more often found with satiny surfaces. This feature was probably the result of the dies becoming slightly worn when coining the later impressions.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse die used to coin VDB cents was continued with this issue and the same diagnostics may be found. A second obverse die was also used, and it&#039;s distinguished by a fine crack running from the truncation of Lincoln&#039;s bust to the rim. A couple of short die gouges run vertically from the top of the letter L in LIBERTY, while letters TY reveal some fine, vertical polishing lines. A third obverse features heavy die polish to the right of Lincoln&#039;s nose.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two reverse dies were used, one with tiny chips appearing between each wheat ear and the border and the other with numerous, vertical die polishing lines around letters O and E of ONE and Letter T of CENT. A few more such lines appear between letters CA of AMERICA and the wheat stem. It&#039;s not know which combination of these dies may have been used.</p><p><br /></p><p>David W.
