Curly82ABN Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 1:44 pm Was going through a roll of 1990P LMC I set to the side and found this interesting one. Looks like die polishing around the mouth and neck. Then the raised feature in the mouth. When looking through Traildies.com and reading the information section to the left "Trail Die Oddities" I saw a description about Lincoln's mouth on the reverse for 1999P-1DER-049T called "cigar." Thought it was fitting to apply this term for this obverse variety, since I have not seen this anywhere else. Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Valued Member United States 279 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 2:47 pm Looks like a "Forked Tongue" as well... Die Chip? Report this Post to the Staff
Curly82ABN Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 2:55 pm I believe it is a die line Tacc. Based on the feature being raised and the area around the mouth appears to be polished. Here are two pics shifting the light to create shadows. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 50134 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 4:19 pm The "cigar" is a linear trail gas bubble IMHO. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
Curly82ABN Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 4:21 pm Hey John. If this is the case then if I touch it with a tooth pic I should be able to penetrate it correct? Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 11993 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 4:24 pm Likely a linear plating bubble--not 100% certain. Many plating bubble features can be 'collapsed' with a toothpick, some cannot. Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Valued Member United States 279 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 5:27 pm ah yes given the date, more likely linear plating bubble. Report this Post to the Staff
Curly82ABN Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 5:48 pm Do appreciate all the feedback on this one. I grab another pic at an angle and it has some interesting details. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62062 Posts	Posted 03/20/2023 12:41 pm If there is any hint of gray, it could be a split plating issue. If it gives with pressure, it a gas bubble.
