Very interesting. Thanks for pointing it out. I have bought quite a few modern proof commems over the years and I have never seen anything like that.

Would moving it to the commem section help others post info on it?

It must have to do with a poor job of polishing the die between runs. I would call it more of a quality issue than an "error".

I should add....this would not be considered an impared since it came from the mint that way. When we say "impared" collectors mean the proof was either mishandled or circulated.

Very good. That saves me the trouble.

It could go in the US Commemorative forum, but the original question was about the proof (a process) and not the coin (a US Commemorative).

Now that we have settled on this being something specific about the Lincoln Commemorative Dollar, a move would be in order. However, I was thinking about moving it to the US Variety and Error forum.
