A1agrl Valued Member United States 192 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:55 am Although not a valuable error, this round Die Chip (?) exiting from the front of Lincoln's eye looks exactly like the bullet which killed him. As everyone knows, Lincoln was shot in the back of the head. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this interesting anomaly. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 105005 Posts	Posted Yesterday 2:50 pm I agree a stain - maybe something caustic was dropped on it. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

A1agrl Valued Member United States 192 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:24 pm The feature is raised, not flat. I took an additional picture while holding the coin at an angle, skewing the face a bit. I hope it gives a clearer image and shows the anomaly is not a discoloration. I think the cool thing is not what the feature is, but where it is located on the coin next to the face. Die chips have little value unless there located in an interesting place, i.e. The Spitting Horse" Report this Post to the Staff
