Reno911 Valued Member United States 316 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 9:50 pm What going on here? Looks like a garden snake is slithering from Lincoln's left eyebrow up his forehead. What's happening here anybody's thoughts Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 27209 Posts	Posted 03/26/2023 08:50 am @reno, that is kinda odd. With the amount of circulation wear visible elsewhere on this coin, my best guess is damage plus Pareidolia.

Curly82ABN Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 03/26/2023 09:28 am Without seeing the entire coin it seems like it is due MD. I've seen a number of Lincolns with this. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 18350 Posts	Posted 03/26/2023 10:35 am I agree, we need to see more of the coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Reno911 Valued Member United States 316 Posts	Posted 03/26/2023 6:33 pm Spencer you were correct partially about the Illusion. But the illusion only is for the head of the snake. When magnified you can actually see that there's some kind of ding I'll call it more machine mark just slightly on hitting what looks like the head. Sadly I'm not able to capture it without it being blurry. The Squiggly line is actually raised above the coin planchet . I think something may have gotten on it . You terribly sorry about the photos. I'm not very good at this kind of thing. OK under the weather today thanks so much bye Report this Post to the Staff
Curly82ABN Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 03/26/2023 6:40 pm It can be difficult to capture the right photo Reno. Here is a thought, try using your device (hope it is a scope) and capturing the image at night in a room without incoming light. Now you have a baseline to work from with your device. This is actually what I have planned for tonight. I'll capture before and after and share tomorrow. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff
