CentR Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 01/02/2024 02:02 am Just came across this in a few pounds of wheaties I bought from Rob Finds Treasure. Besides the fact that I obviously need to work on the name, do you think this is an error or damage? If it's an error, is it just due to die filling? Also, if it is an error, any ideas for snappy names for it, like "Skeletor Lincoln", "Michael Jackson Lincoln", etc? Thanks, Mike Edited by CentR 01/02/2024 02:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25923 Posts	Posted 01/02/2024 02:15 am Not an error - just PMD. You can see how Abe's nose and chin were sheared and the metal push inward. As for the date, probably the same thing the remnants of the 9 are visible. It could have been someone playing with a chisel. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
