And the FG is barely legible and you can just see the top half of Abe in the Memorial. Thanks The the best one for last Report this Post to the Staff

I have one that goes from the rim, to the stairs, up the column and continues left on the top of the building. Check how far yours goes, might continue. Nice one :D Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/19/2016 7:45 pm I have only run across a few that had a crack at each corner of the memorial. They were all 1983. May have very well been the same die. Report this Post to the Staff

Anyways here is an pic of the columns. Very cool. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/20/2016 12:39 am Note the thinness of the columns on the last image. The over polishing took a lot of the fields away (making them shorter) and making the bays wider. Not a good thing for the die. Even the planter is reduced in width. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 02/20/2016 12:50 am Thanks coop, with as goofy as this coin looks I didn't even think that an over polished die could actually get this bad, so that is why part of Abe is missing too then. There is practically no definition middle in the middle of the coin. Thanks for the great input everyone. Report this Post to the Staff
