1984 Lincoln 1c

Good evening and thank you for reviewing my post. I am not familiar with Die scratches, is the 1984 Lincoln N/S scratches something that is registered somewhere? I know they have websites for cuds and chips. It’s an awesome looking coin. Thank you for taking the time to review it.

In my opinion, there is no documentation on die scratches or also known as an abraded die.

It's more related to die maintenance than anything else.
I never had a collector ask for one of them through my website, nor at a local coin show. I guess, after all they are simply scratches.

I think it was a 1960 Lincoln cent bags.... from Denver.
It may have been a small date bag.
I think I pulled more than 10 rolls of some really nice abraded dies.
They were scratches all over the obverse as well as the reverse.
It was either one over zealous mint worker or, one heck of a die clash that needed covering up.

I am headed to the storage unit later today.
If I remember, I'll pull a random roll and snap a few photos.

Ok, a random roll 1960D small date and a random coin with an abraded obverse and reverse.
I have at least 11 rolls with varying degrees of abrasion from a 5000 count 1960D small date mint sealed bag.
I believe there is one more box of 2,500 1960D SD that I did not open to see if there were any abraded rolls within.

Photos were taken in a few seconds, with my phone. Nothing special.
Used a flat box, put the phone on top of the box which was on the table.
Placed coin at base of the box on the table. Turned the camera app on, slid the phone over just enough to see the coin. Zoomed in. Held phone steady on the top of box with 1 hand, the other lightly tapped the shutter button.
