Lincoln Monument Ghost, filled D mint with Skelton face 1979 Lincoln memorial penny

10 posts in this topic

Low grade pocket change with a filled "D".  Check all of the other Lincoln Memorial cents you have laying around.  There are quite a few variations where the portrait has been modified, enhanced, flattened, sharpened, etc, etc.  And all of the reverses have the little Lincoln seated in the memorial.  It's just that some of them are harder to see than others.

I'm not sure what was going on at the mint in '79, but little lumps where a mintmark should be seemed to be the norm, rather than the exception for that year.
