1966

The nose i meant, the scratch appears raised but cant be 100 percent sure yet its a fine line im seeing

Does any one have another 66 we can compare to??? I didn't find any in my stash... With the abrasions in the field near the nose I wonder if there was some sort of damage to the die during polishing which in turn required a reengraving??? Need to do a comparison!!!

Scroll down to auctions at HA for additional images you can enlarge.

I have two unc. rolls of 66s I got from the old man. I looked through them and found they are all in varying degrees of excellent shape. There appear to be no anomalies, though, in any. No ultra-high grades, but maybe 64/65 on a couple.

As an aside, I'll soon be heading out metal detecting a new spot where the house was built over a pre-1850 cheese house and general factory area, so my guess is I'll be locating some coins of various denominations. I'll have about 2 acres to detect. Gotta get out before the ground freezes here in the midwest. I'll post any good finds, although I certainly hope for coins minted long before LCs. If I find some older cent coins, is anyone going to get upset if I post them on this forum?

We look forward to all posts, especially old coins. Under this general discussion should be fine.
Best of success at the cheese factory site.

I'd be happy if you did. Always fun to see what cents get dug.

We would be upset if you didn't post them... If they are not lincolns make sure you put them in the Off Topic Discussion forum!!!

Thanks for the link Cliff... That helped a lot... That nose looks long... I am not sure if it is actually stretched or if the coin is at an angle to the lens??? If it is at an angle that would explain what I see... If not then very interesting!!!

Cool... Make sure the pic is straight on... That will prevent any skewing... When the pics are at an angle it is like the sun or moon at rise and setting time - They appear much larger until they are farther up in the sky and that is just optical illusions and very convincing
