A die gouge (dot) shows in the field, well below the O in OF. | {{:wexler1c:1950-s_wrpm-036_stage_a_2_.jpg?400|}} \\ {{:wexler1c:1950-s_wrpm-036_stage_a_1_.jpg?400|}} \\ {{:wexler1c:1950-s_wrpm-036_stage_b_1_.jpg?400|}} \\ {{:wexler1c:1950-s_wrpm-036_stage_d_1_.jpg?400|}} | \\

| [[1950s1cwrpm037|WRPM-037]] | S/S South \\ \\ **Die Markers:** \\ **Obverse:** A myriad of N-S die scratches show all around the front of Lincoln’s profile. Distinctive die scratches in this area include a N-S one connecting the upper chin with the upper lip and several spike like die scratches showing below the chin. Many distinctive die scratches run N-S above the upper hair around WE and the TR in TRUST and a strong die gouge (dot) shows between the lower W and E in WE. Many strong N-S die scratches show behind the lower hair and a strange die gouge shows to the NE of the Y in LIBERTY. \\ **Reverse:** A nice die scratch runs NNW-SSE through the upper curve of the C in CENT. Many light N-S die scratches show behind the vertical section of the C in CENT. Three N-S die scratches show inside the lower opening of the E in CENT. A strong die scratch runs NW from the upper right side of the O in ONE ending below and between the UR in PLURIBUS. Two long die scratches run below the right lower arm of the R in PLURIBUS, forming and inverted V shape. | {{:wexler1c:1950-s_wrpm-037_2_.jpg?400|}} \\ {{:wexler1c:1950-s_wrpm-037_1_.jpg?400|}} | \\

| [[1950s1cwrpm038|WRPM-038]] | S/S West \\ \\ **Cross-References:** Coppercoins: 1950S-1MM-021 \\ \\ **Die Markers:** \\ **Obverse:** **Stage A:** Several die scratches show inside the lower opening of the 9 in the date and between and above the 1 and 9 in the date. A light die scratch runs perfectly South from the lowest tip of the 9 in the date left of the mint mark. Numerous N-S die scratches run above and below the RTY in LIBERTY with two stronger ones running South from SE of the lower right arm of the R and east of the T in LIBERTY. **Stage B:** Two mostly N-S die cracks show on Lincoln’s back, SE of the Y in LIBERTY. The stronger die scratches near the R and T in LIBERTY still visible. A die gouge shows on the upper hair below the G in GOD, Some of the die scratches through the 1 and 9 in the date are still visible. \\ **Reverse:** **Stage A:** A strong die gouge runs North from just right of the Apex of the last A in AMERICA. Several parallel N-S die scratches connect the lower A in STATES with the upper C in AMERICA. A die gouge runs mostly N-S near the rim, NE of the upper right side of the second U in PLURIBUS.  A NNW-SSE die scratch runs just to the left of the E in AMERICA grazing the lower SW corner at one point. Similarly oriented die scratches run beneath the M in AMERICA. Many N-S die scratches show on either side of the T in CENT and some parallel die scratches run NNE from its top. A long die scratch runs North from the central lower crossbar of the E in CENT where it then crosses through the upper tip and ends between the U & N in UNUM. **Stage B:** Some of the Stage A die scratches around the T in CENT are still visible. Short sections of the Stage A die scratches around the E and M in AMERICA are still visible. All other Stage A die scratches are worn away. | {{:wexler1c:1950-s_wrpm-038_stage_a_2_.jpg?400|}} \\ {{:wexler1c:1950-s_wrpm-038_stage_a_1_.jpg?400|}} | \\
