AT214 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 03/12/2015 7:01 pm so did the mint decide to not do the "3-D" effects on the two outer pillars for this coin? I see it on the two beside Lincoln and even the tiny bit by his knee, but not on the two outer ones. is this the intent of the mint? Report this Post to the Staff

AT214 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 03/12/2015 7:20 pm the columns on the reverse, they have the "3-D" effect, as it was referred to on here, with the doubling of the columns. usually on the outer two and the two closet to Lincoln sitting in the memorial. but the 2003 penny I just seen, didn't have it on the outer two columns, just the other two.

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/13/2015 12:15 am somebody needs to take the rag and furniture polish out of the mint guy's hand. I know it's done with grease but no clue to how it's applied. Edited by CoinMasters 03/13/2015 12:18 am Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/13/2015 8:16 pm yes thank you coop. it's a wonder that a job that personal can still miss portions. I suppose parts of it are hard to polish without messing up the good parts. did anyone notice on the first image, the guy in the background only has three fingers?
