1951 Lincoln Cent- Re-engraved vs Normal Bangs

Ray, I posted it earlier in this thread.

Hmm, I should have checked.

Those beard enhancements are great. I've seen those beard enhancements before but can't recall which year(s).

May have been on another site.

How about the motto on the 72 cents master doubled die MD-5-O-I+II.
It always confused me, the doubling on liberty looks like it came from the doubled master but most of what we see on the motto looks re-engraved not like a doubled die of any sort. Especially the N of IN, E of WE, U of TRUST. To me it clearly looks like they re-engraved it.

In listings for it they always show the motto and say it is from the doubled master but never say it is re-engraved?
Am I wrong or what is it from?

SHHHHHH!!! Jody and I were going to blow that one up next. It's actually been on my list for a while, but other discoveries keep getting in the way. You are correct, of course.

[ray_parkhurst]

Yeah, I've wondered about that one for years.

Well, guess who is going to help with the forensics?

I think I have a roll of them sitting around somewhere.

Congrats Cliff... Without you posting your thoughts this would not have gotten this far... You opened the thought gates!!!

[jfines69]

Excellent job by all of those that contributed to getting this up to Mike Diamond... Will and Ray come to mind!!!

[Rowdyricster]

Didn't want to take away from your thread, Cliff, but I just found one that appears similar to yours. I posted it here if you want to take a look.

Just a heads-up, Mike's article on this topic comes out tomorrow online, with the print copy to follow.

Very nice article Mike and thank you for offering up the email! Congrats to all involved, Cliff, Ray, Will and Jody, I appreciate the work you guys do, teaching us and allowing us to see the end result.

I appreciate the education I get here about the kind of microscopic (but quite interesting) phenomena that generally escapes my macroscopic gaze. I see our work as complementing each other's.
