Thank you. junjie Image: 2000LD.jpg 90.13 KB Image: 00LDObv.jpg 101.98 KB Image: 00LDRev.jpg 82.36 KB Image: Fig1.jpg 93.8 KB Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/29/2008 11:54 pm The marks that you thought would be trails is just die wear and die flow. This happens on coins made from later die states. Color, could be several things. But I feel it is post mint cleaning/heating/anything that caused the difference in color.

junjiesalvador Valued Member Philippines 212 Posts	Posted 06/30/2008 03:15 am Thanks Coop. I am sending you another image of a gouge on the ear of Lincoln - from the same coin. What is this? junjie Image: Gouge.jpg 35.98 KB Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/30/2008 11:09 am Sorry. Image is too small to help you with right now. Maybe a larger image might help. Report this Post to the Staff
junjiesalvador Valued Member Philippines 212 Posts	Posted 06/30/2008 10:53 pm Hi Coop. Hope this picture helps. The gouge is located behind the ear. You will find it by drawing a horizontal line from 9:00 towards the ear. Thanks junjie Image: Gouge1a.jpg 66.51 KB Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 07/01/2008 1:17 pm Hi, While this coin may have the appearance of a plating error, I lean more toward it being an unusual form of toning. It could be due to heat but the exact reason, of course, can not be identified. The reason I lean toward the toning idea is that the points of wear are revealing a copper color. If the copper were weak or missing, wear would reveal more of the zinc rather than the copper. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/01/2008 3:29 pm There are a few raised areas in that area. So it may just be a little orange rind. Nothing too exciting. It may be a small plating separation that is making that area raise. Report this Post to the Staff
junjiesalvador Valued Member Philippines 212 Posts	Posted 07/01/2008 8:42 pm Thanks Bill and Coop. I am looking for that other coin with the same toning. It must be the weather down here where it is so humid. But then again I may be wrong. But the toning has not affected the rim which shows a copper color. Does anybody have this kind die flow too? junjie Report this Post to the Staff
