<p>[QUOTE="JayF, post: 3003323, member: 92530"]Has there ever been re-design(s) of lincoln's bust on the penny? I see subtle differences comparing different years and I don't know if it's wear or not but I think the design has changed somewhat between some years. On this pic :</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Bottom of nose on 1964 / 1968 S is on an angle compared to 1985 / 1971</p><p>2. Beard on 1968 S is thicker compared to 1975 /1985</p><p>3. Beard/chin on 1960 D is more rounded and bigger compared to the others</p><p>4. Beard/chin on 1975 and 1985 looks more square and thinner compared to the others</p><p>5. Front of the hair on 1964 looks different than others.</p><p>6. Nose bridge on 1975 is thinner compared to the others.</p><p>7.

[QUOTE="JayF, post: 3003323, member: 92530"]Has there ever been re-design(s) of lincoln's bust on the penny? I see subtle differences comparing different years and I don't know if it's wear or not but I think the design has changed somewhat between some years. On this pic : 1. Bottom of nose on 1964 / 1968 S is on an angle compared to 1985 / 1971 2. Beard on 1968 S is thicker compared to 1975 /1985 3. Beard/chin on 1960 D is more rounded and bigger compared to the others 4. Beard/chin on 1975 and 1985 looks more square and thinner compared to the others 5. Front of the hair on 1964 looks different than others. 6. Nose bridge on 1975 is thinner compared to the others. 7. Hairline on 1985 and 1971 seems higher (not touching the collar) I'm not looking for "errors" or "varieties" on my coins, just really and plainly curious if there was/were changes on the design. I did try and research it but wasn't really getting any hit but maybe it was more of the lack of using the right keywords. [ATTACH=full]743555[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
