John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/28/2012 08:07 am What do you all think? The lines are on the left and right starting below the hands and along statue base. Reminded me a little like this one http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=eds but to a lesser degree. All input welcome, Thanks much, John1 Edited by John1 08/28/2012 08:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/30/2012 12:23 pm I believe the marks we are seeing is an older polishing of the die. They don't make a uniform pattern like hub doubling would create. While looking at the image that is darker, on the area above the statue and the other columns I see sweeping marks like a polishing would create. Sorry John1. Maybe the next coin will be a new discovery. Report this Post to the Staff
