tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 03/11/2015 10:05 am I see what your talking about. It looks like an extra eye to left of eye . It almost looks rotated ccw to the 11 o'clock postion. I can even see a bit of forehead and nose. But idk I'm not an expert and it could be a coincidence. Like how clouds look like certain things. Idk but I definitely see what your talking about. Maybe pictures with different angle and lighting will make I'd stand out more. The 5th picture it looks like it has a forehead too so I just don't know Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/11/2015 10:08 am The hit on the jaw is a contact mark from another coin. Business strike coins are only struck once. (normally) Proof coins are struck twice and more on some denominations. Looks like the bottom of the "E" on LIBERTY came loose and now rests below the BIE. Report this Post to the Staff
