Whoa, I saw you mention that but now I see it. If that was a die clash , how is that even possible there? I'll have to check the coin again when I get home from work.

Yes, I would check it out under some higher magnification to determine the cause. Not sure how it got there but its a really cool find!   |

Take a close look at any UNC 2000 - the slash and bottom part of your 2 is minted into the coin. The top part is probably just a nick into it causing the appearance of a 2. What is that word that means your brain sees something that really isn't there? I just read it in somebodies signature line yesterday!

Mark, that's called Pareidolia. You saw it on chefemasterj's signature line. Errers and Varietys.

Yep that's the word. Some wacky lighting effect must've caused that. Under 25x , there is definitely no 2 or part of a 2 in Abe's beard lol.

I was noting the very clear edges near the rim areas. An earlier die state coin. To me, they command attention. No die distractions. I noticed it more on my computer. On my tablet it is hardly noticeable. But I didn't enlarge it there.

Here we are looking for 2's lol. Yes after reading your thread on die states it appears to be just that. In hand, all the devices & edges are very sharp & crisp. Thanks boss |
