QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 03/01/2019 10:27 pm All due respect Coinfrog, in my experience a normal '89 has a full Lincoln shape in the memorial building. Here's a picture from PCGS compared to mine: Again, I may be wrong but I really think this isn't a full Lincoln. Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 03/01/2019 10:29 pm Oh I forgot to say the S is missing from the PCGS picture, it's my bad. The picture on the right is completely from PCGS. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4424 Posts	Posted 03/01/2019 10:34 pm Over-polishing removed Lincoln on this coin. Die polishing, possibly to remove a die clash, not a grease issue. Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 03/01/2019 10:38 pm That makes much more sense than a grease strike. Thanks Tanman2001. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/02/2019 3:40 pm Probably the 'FG' is missing and the roof is showing a floating roof from the same polishing issue. Report this Post to the Staff
