Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/08/2023 06:16 am It seems too straight to be a die crack. I think it's a die abrasion from some aggressive die polishing. It does seem to be a little off-center or maybe misaligned to the K-2 position on the obverse. I can see the remnants of Lincoln's shoulder in the columns of the Memorial, with lots of die polish marks on both sides. The polishing was so heavy that it left a hazy halo or 'aura' around Lincoln's portrait. Here's a LMC Clash overlay. Can you locate any other clash marks with the coin in-hand?
