[QUOTE="Jimski, post: 8095987, member: 77373"]Your 1974 type 1 Lincoln cent is always been one of my favorite Lincolns. The Lincoln cent had a new master in 1974, which had much sharper details. [INDENT][SIZE=3] From Lange’s book, [U]The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents[/U]. The obverse master hub used from 1969 through 1973 was replaced with a dramatically sharpened portrait for the 1974 cent coinage. ... Finally, the Lincoln bust was given a more robust character, his wavy hair being bolder and more sharply delineated from his ear.[/SIZE][/INDENT] Later in the 1974, the master was changed again to lower the relief. [INDENT][SIZE=3] From Lange’s book, [U]The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents[/U]. The first 1974 cent obverse hub was replaced with another midway through 1974, resulting in two subtypes for the Lincoln cents dated 1974. The second obverse of 1974 differed from the first in being of faintly lower relief and having duller details in Lincoln's hair. The attractive first obverse hub of 1974 thus proved to be a one-year-only subtype. [/SIZE][/INDENT] I'll compare the '73 and '74 next year.[/QUOTE]
