Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 881 Posts	Posted 09/03/2021 5:40 pm Here is an interesting 1992 LMC. Poor Abe appears to be pretty beat up Looks like a haymaker, punch in the nose,and decapitated. Based on the info I have been able to digest, I would guess worn dies on the eye and nose, and much overpolishing @ the neck line. Maybe due to a clash? I do not know. Sure wish I could overlay with a typical obverse. Hope the images are good enough for opinions. Report this Post to the Staff

Note the area affected by clashes is the outside edges of the bust and the bays on the reverses. Edited by coop 09/03/2021 7:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 881 Posts	Posted 09/05/2021 3:44 pm Thanks Coop. So my intial evaluation was pretty much correct then. Overpolishing to remove a clash. A decapitated Abe. That is more likely today than his actual fate. Report this Post to the Staff
