2000 Mouth

[VAB2013]

What caused the 2000 and 2000 D to have such funny looking mouths, some of them look even more distorted and funnier than others. This has been bugging me ever since I played the joke on Will and he guessed it was a 2000. I looked back at John's 2000 off center WAM and his is a strong strike with defined mouth, especially the bottom lip. Maybe Will will chime in :)

It is simply a one-year design trait. That is how I knew the coin was a 2000. All cents in that year have the fat lips. They changed the design again the next year.

Thank you Will!! It's amazing to me that you have studied all of the different designs of each year's Lincoln Cents! That is cool!!

ya know Will.... i thought you were a pretty funny guy, but i believe Jim's gotcha beat :LOL_Hair:

Chuck Daugherty calls this one, "slug lips," which I though was really funny. As for me; the ownership, while appreciating my humor, expects a certain amount of decor from their moderators. If you would like a full-monty of big-lip jokes, please PM me, and I will be happy to put Jim to shame. :tinysmile_classes_t I got banned once for a reason. :angel:

:LOL_Hair: that is a funny name!! Ok, now that makes sense why you have calmed down Will. Miss your jokes, but I understand rules and respect! Shooting a PM to you!

I've actually found some that remind me of a chicken beak!

[VAB2013]

OMG a chicken beak, LOL how funny enamel!! Would like to see that one :) They are strange looking and I have never seen so many 2000 and 2000D's in a brick before as the one I am currently working on. Maybe I'll get a WAM out of this yet!!! If not... I am being entertained by the lips!

Ok, ok, by popular demand, here goes: What does it say on the inside of Lincoln's lips on a 2000 cent?
