    1981P Does Liberty look normal?

    Does Liberty on this coin look normal for a 1981P? The only other 1981P I have is in my Warman's book and it is too shiny to tell. I cannot find a close up image of this year's Lincoln on the internet.

    Thank you for helping!

    I always just set these aside until I find another of the same date....but yes it looks pretty normal other than it may have been polished in a few places, making some of the devices appear thinner

      Thank you Maineman. I am surprised how difficult it is to find quality photos of "normal" Lincoln cents on the internet. I had 2 other 1981's but they were so damaged, they definitely did not look normal.

        80-82 (LD) always give me fits when I find them, even in decent grades. Sometimes it looks like the lettering is doubled, when it's just they're so damned chubby.

          Same here Frank! Or they are so mushy and shiny and distorted looking most of the time! Wasn't that the time period of Purple Haze? LOL

                  Well....let's just say I learned it in the 70's, but he actually wrote it in the late 60's.....seems like the stuff from your teenage years just sticks with you.
