<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 4306088, member: 92655"]See if this helps clear things up. This is a set of dies that hammered out untold millions of cents. The newly minted cents passed through these dies faster than your eyes can follow. <i><b>If</b></i> the US mint had created a set of dies with only a portion of the Lincoln Memorial showing then many thousands of them would have been produced and they would have been a recognized error/variety long before now..... Also take into account that copper is a very soft metal and lends itself to being modified by frustrated artisans with too much time on their hands. They show up on these pages frequently.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1095573[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
