Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 10:15 pm Can anyone tell me what caused all the anomalies with this penny, please? First off there looks to be a circular impression under the Lincoln Memorial. Secondly there seems to be an unusual blob in between the third and fourth pillars from the left. Also, the letters in the word "STATES" start off thin and get thinner. There are also numerous small lines leading from the bottom left and right of the Memorial and also from the top left. The whole thing seemed unusual so I thought I would ask the experts. All ideas are welcome and appreciated. Thanks! Edited by Sudz 04/10/2013 11:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 11:43 pm The circular impression and blob in the bay is part of a die clash and the thinner letters and scratches are the result of the mint trying to repair the design by polishing it. The clash seen here though may have also come after it was polished. Report this Post to the Staff
change4thebetter Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 11:44 pm Good-day Sudz... The circular impression under the Lincoln Memorial... Looks like a "die clash"... Lincoln's bust line through the third and fourth pillars or is it his nose or back of his head/collar.?... just my guess...maybe an expert can jump in here and help out with this and the lettering. ...and as I was replying...and posting...one did..

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/11/2013 04:56 am It is a die clash and I would put it in a 2x2 and hang on to it. Not much if any premium though,it's just neat. Any evidence of a clash on the obverse? John1 Edited by John1 04/11/2013 04:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
