Heres some more closeups and some explanation of the coin.
the first picture I highlighted some areas. The 2 arrows are some markings that go behind licncolns head on the stronger errors. It also looks like something smeared from the back of the head to the rim. There is nothing smeared on the coin either its a weird effect the metal gives off with the way it was pressed. The more I look at this coin the weirder the error looks.

Ive always wanted to go to Key west. the furthest south Ive been is in Disney land, epcott center, or kennedy space center. Whatever ones the furthest south. I always wanted to check out the Mel Fisher museum and maybe do a little metal detecting on the beaches down there. My Grandfather lived in Ocala in Florida he passed away a little over 2 yrs ago.

Im on the south side of the lake. My Dad (Not grand) passed last year July 25th. He designed the first ground computers for the Space Shuttle. Key punch cards (You know)! If you want to go to key west stay near duck key and then drive further south. Its a lot easyer! (And a lot more fun).

PS My Sis lives in orlando, So if you go back there let me know!

PSS I also lived in Ocala when I was about 14 for about a year. (Leesburg). And if your ever in West Palm Beach, Let me Know!

1913-V. Received the Pepper Lincoln Today!

First I scanned it, Then tried to pull a Nasa by taking 200X images off the TV and putting them together (I have only gotten so far and have not even touched the back of the head yet!

There is a lot going on here!

Maybe some experts can now see something. Here is my pics so far (I reduced the second image it 1 Gig on my computer.

PS Thanks again!

Looks like gas under the plating from the Nasa image. With the same marking behind the head that is what I see on it.
