What is with this penny?

The face is raised more and more full features on the Lincoln. The revers is as normal. Looks to be AB grade so I don’t know how wear would happen to only one side with the condition of the coin. Let me know why, thank you.

(Pic compares to normal AU coin)

"AB" grade ?

 

Both look normal to me. I have no idea what you are talking about.

 

I think what you are noticing is the difference from the 1969 Die Recut.
Pre 1969 cents seemed to have a high relief compared to the post 1969

 

Yup. Thx

 

Ya sorry

I really like the older high relief cents.
