<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 775478, member: 4350&quot;]It was already explained but I&#039;ll add more detail.&nbsp; First , your coin is normal.&nbsp; The obverse of the the coin was redesigned in 1969 with a sharper, clearer, portrait of Lincoln.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prior to that,&nbsp; the hubs used to make the dies were worn with the portrait of Lincoln being less distinct and due to wear, appearing larger.</p><p><br /></p><p>The difference in appearance between cents dated 1968 and 1969 and later is easily apparent but neither coin is special.&nbsp; It is a normal redesigning of a master hub that then would be used to make master dies, that then are used to make working hubs and then working dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still, nothing abnormal about the 1968 and earlier cents where the bust is larger in appearance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
