xcrytonx New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 01/01/2013 02:53 am Found this in a roll. I think I will call it Mean Lincoln, it has several deep gashes above the eyebrow. What would you call this since it was struck that way? There is also a few other things wrong with the coin like, bumps that run in a line and to me his entire face looks odd... what do you think?

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/01/2013 2:03 pm The gashes are PMD and the bumps would be plating bubbles which is a common occurrence on Zincolns. After the conclusion of the 2009 Bicentennial issues, the Lincoln hub design was redone and the bust details were changed to more accurately reflect the original 1909 design.

xcrytonx New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 01/01/2013 4:03 pm The gashes I dont believe to be PMD, under 200x there is no scuff marks or other tails that that were done after mint. I been trying to get a better picture but the coin is so shiny I cant get a true picture. The mark on his jaw is PMD. I will try to get a better picture or a even a 200x picture of the inside of the gashes. I was posting this to see if anyone else had found one like this. Report this Post to the Staff
