Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 01/31/2018 3:30 pm Thanks, Coop - not a lamination. Look at the first image of the entire reverse. The nature and morphology shows better there than in close ups. Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 09:10 am I have been thinking about this coin. I think what I see is a Reverse which has sustained a rather heavy off center clash. The clash is no longer visible due to extremely heavy abrading which extended beyond Lincoln's Profile. This left heavily abraded areas beneath the chin and at the back of the neck which show as raised areas on the coin. Any comments or observations about this?
