Posting these for fun of oddities, yes, I know they are not varities and they have no value. But they look cool... Poor Abe, looks like he got shot with a nail gun. Image:  IMG_6090.jpg99.47 KB Image: IMG_6091.jpg80.41 KB Image: IMG_6092.jpg92.13 KB Edited by wrongalot

That was vague. Why not explain to him how to do it in photoshop instead just showing him it can be done with the program, the information you gave didn't help him in his quest for information at all |

I have GIMP 2.0, you have to draw the arrows, they don't have preset ones, but that would be cool to have. Most photo editing software has a way to draw lines, and to make the lines as thick as you want, you just have to have a steady hand with the mouse and make an arrow.

You are wrong-a-lot! They have value. Maybe not great value, but very cool errors nonetheless! Some of my favorite coins are minor errors I pulled out of my paper route change 30+ years ago.

Hi
I was wondering if all 3 pics. were from the same
coin. If so, you might want to take a look opposite
of those marks. rev/obv
Might be something, might not ?

The first image looks like a Spiked Head in the making. It doesn't become one until it touches the rim. But that's a pretty common area for them.
