Incorrect planchet possibility? Also on the reverse it looks like that Lincoln is in more than 1 bay. Once again you're feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 02/17/2018 07:53 am I think your coin has a slight die clash, which gives the appearance of the seated Lincoln being in more then one bay. In reality, you are seeing a small part of the obverse design in the bay. I'm sure crazyb0 will be along shortly with a fancy graphic demonstrating how this happened. Welcome to the forum!
