I refer to this 2000 obverse die as the "pouting lip" Lincoln. Look at the differences in the lip area from 1999, 2000 and 2001. There maybe other differences, but this one seems to stand out and it is on both the Denver and Philadelphia dies. I am not to sure about the proof die, however, I am confident that the change is there also.
Just so happens I brought the subject of the 2000P cent and that I thought I was seeing something different back in 2006 on another forum. here is a link if interested. 2000P
Actually, I did a year by year bust study for my book "Master Hubs & Master Dies of the Lincoln Cent; 1909 to 2006" among other things. The one surprising thing was the change of the obverse Lincoln from 1909 to 2006; very dramatic.
Both dies have been struck through grease. The second coin doers have the pouting lip of 2000 Lincoln cent, so my guess is that it was from 2000. The first coin?
