It appears to me to be a DDR but not one that I can find listed anywhere. |

No, it stops just a little bit before it hits the roof line (like just before the rounded part inside the bay). Looking at it, I also see it stopping right at the floor line (that is, at that extra level inside the bay horizontal with the steps). There is a small scratch on the steps just underneath it, which might, I think, make it looks like it extends beyond the floor.

No I meant below the base of the Memorial. I can see the line continuing below the base line.

Try to get a photo with the light source at a different angle.

Okay, got it. Tomorrow (it's getting near bedtime for bonzo - I'm on the east coast) I'll shoot a bunch of different angles and try some different light sources. Now that I know what you're looking for. Might try it outdoors on my lunch hour as well. I appreciate all the input and comments. To me this is a lot of fun - regardless if it turns out to be a DDR or not. |

That is quite an eye for detail you have Coop. I didn't even notice the other marks until you pointed them out.
What kind of computer monitor do you use?

I'm actually with Coop now, he pointed out that the line continued through the steps and out of the memorial. Looks like a die scratch now.  |

Just a wide screen. Sometimes know what could happen and see it when it does happen helps train the eyes.

Specimens like this one can be tough. With the coin in hand you can tell a lot more than with pics here. Your specimen reminds me of this listing: http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=edsChecking the fields on the coin in hand, direction of markings and the like, can help paint the picture. |
