Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5786 Posts	Posted 09/23/2018 11:13 am I agree it's a clash. The lines you are seeing in Bay #3 are from the two dies clashing together and are from the back of Lincoln's head. It is a nice clash that actually clashed twice, judging by the two lines in bay 3. Here is a http://www.maddieclashes.com/one-cent-overlays/ to a Memorial overlay to help you visualize the obverse elements that are showing up on your coin. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 09/23/2018 11:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

Lower Bay2 (pic1) and Bay8 (pic4- where Lincoln lower chin would have possibly hit?) HMMM Report this Post to the Staff

(Note the 1959-D example below) Edited by coop 09/24/2018 1:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
