<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davedawg, post: 297543, member: 9026&quot;]A few questions in general : From what years were mintmarks hand-stamped onto Lincoln Cents and for what reason would they change it? Also, what does the term &quot;extra thickness on the outer devices&quot; mean? I generally see this when referring to die varieties for the reverse of wheat cents. Also, how would one determine if a motto has &quot;extra thickness&quot; or just normal wear? I&#039;m asking these questions because I am searching through thousands of wheat cents while referring to a list of varieties for each year and mintmark. One more question, keeping in mind that I am fairly new to collecting, is it possible for coins that are double dies, for example a 1936 cent, to later be stamped with either an S or a D mintmark thus making it a different variety? This last one may be a dumb question and not even be possible but I don&#039;t know the answer so take it easy on me : ) Any help on any or all of these questions is greatly appreciated!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
