It looks to me like there is a faint shadow of Lincoln's head to the left of it. Also there is a line across the coin which makes it looks like it was dipped in some solution. If there were also a line on the Reverse then I would think that it has been dipped. There is not - - - so what is this? Report this Post to the Staff
