<p>[QUOTE="abe, post: 668255, member: 19570"]This is unusal to see this on an early lincoln cent, but it does happen. How about a slightly worn Master Hub. Most of the time you see these on WWII cents. Master Hub was used to make the Master Die, Master Die was used to make the Working Hub, the Working Hub was used to make the Dies for the coining presses. This slight ware caused the design to spread towards the rim. I have 2 1918 with no L, and a 1927, and a ton of late 30s&40s. BUT, with your 1911, the date doesn't appear to be out of place. Off center may be the cause...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
