This was a fifty cent "what's this?" purchase last week. The flip was so old and foggy you couldn't read the date, but the reverse looked interesting

Die cracks, or possibly an FRIDB (can't tell thru the odd toning), in Lincoln's hair and on the side of his face as well.

Nice RIDB/cracked skull and you can see ghosting/PIDT on the reverse.

I like it! Yes, a cracked skull. Is that a die crack running from the rim just to the left of W in WE, leading into Abe's head--a spiked head?

ijn1944, great eye! Yes, it is a very subtle Spike head, I wasn't going to even mention it.

Makecents, appreciated, I have a tube going of extreme PIDT examples. I'll have to post one sometime...

Thanks everyone!
