big al New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 11/01/2012 12:32 am Again, I am new! I just "found' this 1970 S Lincoln. I think its a Large date, right? So at first I thought there was a dark fingerprint, then I get my loop and it looks like a clash of "Something Unum" AND a small floating extra "S" mintmark across from Lincoln's nose. Am I crazy or am I seeing what I think I see? It is not raised it looks like ink or grease? Does anyone see what I mean? Or is it just my untrained eye and wishful thinking of a beginner? No I am not the guy who thinks he saw Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich. NOTE: I pumped up the contrast of the first photo with the grafitti. PS I can post pics with less grafitti and can email better resolution pics. I think I see UNUM floating in the field just left of the date but perpendicular to it. thanks in advance.
