I would like to see a photo of the REV because most examples I have seen show even less impressive reverses and sometimes what look like problem coins , but somehow still get graded as MS by NGC and PCGS. That is sort of why I posed the intial question. It seems that this date/MM receive similar treatment from the TPG&#039;s as say some of the weak strikes from the 1920&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if the San Francisco Mint itself had anything to do with the preparation or treatment of the planchets for this Lincoln date or if they came prepared from some other location. In my search for more info on this date/MM , stumbled across this thread <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t54291/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t54291/">http://www.cointalk.com/t54291/</a> that says the SF Mint was busy restriking some 1898 Mexico Silver Pesos for use as trade dollars in China that year and wonder if the handling and preparation of different denominations at the same time in the same Mint had an impact on the cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your Thoughts ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
