[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2544479, member: 36230"]I wouldn't bet my life on it, but I do believe we're looking at a plating issue as opposed to a die crack. Clearer photos would helpful. It's okay... just put a little disclaimer, making it clear you know you're breaking the rules, and then demand no one acknowledge it. ;) Seriously though... have you ever compared the deity's bust on the new shield cents to what was used previously? If not, do take a look.... not that it'll change your mind or anything, but will help show how utterly disgraceful (even for a disgrace, which should say a lot) the previous effigy had become. While it may not be obvious to some, the design mutated over time into become what was really nothing more than a cartoon character (which is ironic if you think about it...). If I recall correctly, the intent was to return to the original 1909 design even though, if true, they failed miserably.[/QUOTE]
