<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evan8, post: 2697563, member: 74343&quot;]Aside from weaker details, die cracks and chips are a good way sometimes. On lincoln cents the O in ONE on the reverse is a good marker. It tends to wear out in mid to late dies states. Another thing I look for is the surface of the cent. My 1910 above has a kind of &quot;starburst&quot; effect on the surface caused by a more worn die that creates an odd flow of metal on the coin. Almost making it looked stretched in a way. Also if you look under Licnoln&#039;s chin you can see a speckled type surface hinting that the die may have had some rust to it as well. All signs point to a well used to over worked pair of dies. Something the Lincoln wheat series was notorious for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
