It looks like someone took a grinder to Lincoln's chin and nose. The reverse looks like a light doubled off-center strike. I can make out MA on the 3rd and 4th pillar from the right. Can anyone shed some light on what I have? I need to take a better pic of the reverse. Here's the obverse. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...0_0278-2.jpg Edited by numismaniac64 02/10/2008 5:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
