    What the heck is with Abe's hair?

    Here is an example of a 1974D Lincoln Cent.

    What is the anomaly with Abe's hair?



    Thanks for any comments...

      That's pretty interesting. I am inclined to believe that some sort of abrading led to that, but I can't be absolutely sure.

        I'm telling you, Abe was ahead of his time. We've had postings of him with some cutting edge ear piercings and now the spiked hair.

            Wow, that IS fun! When I clicked on the thread, I expected to see a greaser or weak strike, but that's kind of wild, I like it!

                            I agree. My first observations were due to grease spotting up on the die, causing the perfect conditions for Lincoln to fohawk up
