Hi guys hey look into the memorial bay with the Lincoln statue and just above right and into the next right bay it is raised is this struck through or fingers damage ? And on the obverse is there a doubled ear situation ?
No, VLDS Die flow. Metals have moved outwards and stretched the details out. Then after the die circumference has been ground down to fit the holder correctly, the devices are right on the edge
See a slight PIDT on reverse and also a high pressure strike. Note that Reverse die is normal, yet may be polished to remove a die clash, is there a line on the N of CENT to the memorial?
Forget what I said about the ear , yes there is a die clash behind the neck and above the Y amazing eyes you have ! I won't be able to capture it I can only see it under spotlight the line from the N is only a deep scratch, in the statue memorial bay looks to be a feeder finger thingy exactly like others I have I've not seen one in that area it's raised and well behaved in straight line shaped is that what it is ? into the next bay in the upper left of that next bay, or some kind of die crack ? It goes up under the column.
