Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 07/07/2018 06:18 am I'm with @john1 on this one. @bate if you make an overlay by taking the image of the front of the coin, inverting it, and then placing it on top of the back of your coin, I suspect that these "bumps" in the bays correspond to features on Lincoln's profile. I'm not sure about value, but your is a nice example and could be saved for future reference.

Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 07/07/2018 7:29 pm It looked to me like it didn't quite line up which is why I thought they were die chips. Report this Post to the Staff
Bate Pillar of the Community United States 1937 Posts	Posted 07/07/2018 9:59 pm Tootallious..Thanks for the pics..wow..I could not even imagine when Spencer talked about this. Report this Post to the Staff
Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 07/07/2018 11:29 pm No problem Bate Honestly, to me it still does not look right. If it is a die clash then it's reversed. The chin is pointing in the wrong direction. In the overlay picture the chin is pointing to the right of the memorial! And on your coin it appears to be pointing to the left. Coop, a little help please! Report this Post to the Staff
