Message:: [QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1188305, member: 6229"]Something to Ponder 　 Since I collect my birthyear (1935) silver coins of the world and obtained the USA PDS minted Mercury Dimes, Washington Quarters and Walking Liberty Half Dollars plus the PS Peace Dollars within a few weeks after my decision, I decided, last year, to acquire a 1935-P Cent and a few PDS Buffalo Nickels.　While searching for something numismatically important enough to share with other numismatists a discovery puzzled me...　Take a look at this obverse of a 1935-P Cent (photo courtesy of Coin Page):　<a href="http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-6843.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-6843.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-6843.html</a>　Now look at the obverse of this 2002-S Cent (Coin Page photo):　<a href="http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-2575.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-2575.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-2575.html</a>　Whose beard is on Lincoln's face featured on the 2002-S Cent?　Research shows the beard portrayed on the 1935 Cent is the one Victor David Brenner designed and it is the one on all Cents from 1909 through 1983. The one shown on the 2002-S Cent is a modified version which first appeared on the 1984 PDS Cents.　Hope you enjoyed "Pondering" with me.　Clinker[/QUOTE]
