Lauracollects New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 08/22/2023 5:50 pm I noticed as I looked at this 1944 S LWC under the light that it looks like Lincoln's profile is outlined on the reverse, upside down? I could totally be seeing things but every time I go back to look at this one, all I see is the upside down Lincoln profile on the reverse. There is almost like a light indentation defining it. Is this an error? PMD? Or am I just seeing things? Report this Post to the Staff
