DMPCC Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Hi.. Is it possible for the initials FG on the reverse to the far right of the Lincoln memorial to wear down? I just cannot be objectively subjective. Here is my penny. Thanks in advance for everyone's replies, I welcome opinions and advice.

Greenstang Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) That is caused by an overpolished die. What you have is known as a "Floating Roof", not uncommon on Lincoln Memorials.

DMPCC Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Oh dear I tried to edit and add pic. But I am not sure how it will be seen by you. It might be in a different spot.... Sorry. New and technologically handicapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMPCC Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 I also think lincolns hair has part of the back steps stamped on his head. And there is a D on his cheek that is not raised but it appears stamped. Be patient for my lack of the correct verbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_OldeTowne Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 This happens when such a coin is struck with worn dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
