New discovery, no lower jaw. Just got back from James Wiles of Coneca.

Yes, now your getting it. The polishing does not Remove all the lines that the abrading put in the die. The lines left on the dies from the abrading / cleaning are then transferred to the coin is not a polishing line but a cleaning / abrading scratches.

Lincoln didn't have his hair braided, and btw, make sure you use organic stone ground mustard on the polish...

 

Don't call me Shirley

 

As most others have concluded, this is an example of intentional die abrasion.

 

I was just going to say that

 

Thank you Cheech, and all the other members. That have showed interest in my 1992 no lower jaw. I would love to here from Blueridgesilverhound. Like for him to do a video. I’m trying to Show it to the public. Sending to ANACS today.

 

Alurid - all I can say is:

I love it when you talk dirty

 

I have an exact one of these also. But the one I came across is on a much older penny. I figured it was a bit of grease in that area at the time the coin was being made. Due to the fact that the one you have from 1992 is a perfect match to the one that I have from 1974, it must be because of that "caused by over abrading the die" situation.

Here's the link to my thread about the one that I came across. Not hijacking this thread or anything. Just posting this so you can compare the two coins. Remarkable resemblance, wouldn't you agree?

The explanations are great and educational but in the end the coin speaks for itself. Great find and worthy of being slabbed, by you personally or TPG. My opinion!

 

From my understanding, it isn't cheap to slab a coin. Take into consideration the condition of the coin and what the attraction is (missing full mouth detail because of either grease or over polished or abrading die issue). Would it really be worth it?

 

What you are saying makes sense. I have hundreds of the strongest abraided die detached leg 2005 bison nickel coins from the same die and I have never had them slabbed yet. Maybe I will if they go up in price.

That's a no-no, per forum rules. ~Mod.

 

where did the posts from the last hour go?

 

Can I have one. Just so I know what your talking about?

 

Most of my coins are in storage and very hard to get too. I will try to remember to keep one out for you next time I dig into them. There are about four different types of the 2005 P mint detached leg coins. The ones I have are from the heaviest abraided die with trail lines coming off the E in E Pluribus Unum that makes the E look like it has been slid across the coin. Just remember to keep reminding me. In the meantime you could go to Ebay and someone should have a few on there for you to see.

 

I'm not 100% sure I still have that 1974 D penny. Because after posting it up on this site, I didn't get any responses that it was anything that special. I'll have to take a look and try and see if I put it away somewhere.

 

Another overpolished die issue.. These are not discoveries at all IMHO.. I've seen plenty of them.
I remember your thread.

 

I think the attraction with these particular coins is they both have a remarkable resemblance in regards to the shape of the mouth, even though one is a 1974 and the other a 1993. Perhaps he's interested in collecting the hollering Lincolns.

 

These are considered a die stage. Most of the time they are short lived. Once caught the die is usually retired.
This stage of die pairing does not always mean value unless a collector is in need. The mintage of the 74D is extremely high. And with out knowing how many coins are left in existence it will be considered just another variety/stage.
