<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ziggy9, post: 1322691, member: 8360&quot;]I believe this is the reason they decreased the depth of Lincoln&#039;s bust on the obverse on newer cents. Unless the coin is sharply struck the metal flows into the base of the bust on the obverse and there isn&#039;t enough strength in the strike to fill the letters on the reverse. This happens on too many cents at the exact same location to be all caused by grease filled dies. In a single box of cent rolls I can find as many as a hundred or more of these and don&#039;t bother keeping any of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
