What year is it?

[Steven]

I may be mistaken but after looking at Abe so many times I saw a couple things that looked just a little different for this year. It's gotten to the point where I can look at this part of the coin and tell the year about every time.
Thought just for the fun of it I would put one up here and see if anyone else noticed this as well.
Not the greatest example but both points show well.

For the last couple of weeks, I have been working on a complete study of The Lincoln Master hubs and Dies.




From the looks of the eye, it is around the 2002- 06 year or later. Actually, since all Lincoln cents after the retouching in 1994, are made from a different galvano each year (this practice did start in the mid 1980s) and look very similar, it is hard to pick out just one year for the coin that you show.

Great looking photos,
I've just went through another box of circulated cents and tested myself. I came up with the correct date every time this one came up and did not guess any that were not this date. The strongest point that I would notice was at the ear. Just something I did to help pass the time looking through the rolls and to help me look at the entire coin and not just certain areas. Got to have some fun with it.

2000
