dbalek New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/19/2008 10:24 am I found this in circulation. The bridge of Lincoln's nose is not there. Is this a "adjustment strike" (The date & lettering are fine...) or a polished die, or ?

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 02/19/2008 2:52 pm Yep. It's an overpolished die. Notice how much more faint the neck is as well as the lower right portion of Lincoln's coat. This is often done as a way to remove marks left on a die after a die clash.

dbalek New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/19/2008 3:00 pm Yes, the neck is very faint also. Does it have any premium value? I also discovered a wicked polished 1968-S dime in one of my proof sets. The face and hair details are extremely blurred.. Report this Post to the Staff
