Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 1:00 pm I came across this weird looking Lincoln and originally thought someone took sandpaper to it.But the thing that has me is how would someone make scratches inside of the numerals and letters without scratching those devices away? So here it is! Report this Post to the Staff

Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 1:13 pm I agree it looks that way,But how would the scratches get into tight crevices like the ear,front of the chin? To me using something like that would leave spaces in the scratch as it went over a device. Report this Post to the Staff

If these were die scratches, only the fields would be affected. Coin altered. Edited by coop 01/08/2017 5:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
