lainmejia Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 09/04/2019 10:25 am I found this 1983 Licoln coin. In the back side (Licoln memorial) There is an, apparently, Incuse design. a weird design that is pressed into the surface. can anyone help with this...I made some adjustments to the levels, saturation and brightness of the pictures , so you can see more clear. When You look at the coin Upside down , it has a shape more like a face. Any thoughts? thanks Edited by lainmejia 09/04/2019 12:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74853 Posts	Posted 09/04/2019 12:22 pm I think it's part of a Die Clash that the employees tried to polish off, using diamond paste compound, and other stuff. They couldn't get all of it off. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/04/2019 12:44 pm This clash just happened. They haven't worked on this one yet. A lot of die clashes happen in 1983 and 1984. Why? Don't know, but less happened after those years. Report this Post to the Staff

They couldn't get all of it off. Or it is a clash that occurred AFTER the polished off a previous clash. Which considering the strength of the clash is very likely. Report this Post to the Staff
