Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 07/03/2020 12:36 pm I almost missed this and I would have except for the eyelid which shows the most prominent doubling. Coppercoins.com describes the motto and liberty doubling as "faint" and they are not kidding. Apparently it is fairly uncommon based on its estimated value (It's my first one of these). Please enjoy and here is the link to the variety on Coppercoins: http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mds Report this Post to the Staff

I agree, although the eyelid is a bit easier to see, as you mentioned.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/03/2020 1:34 pm Take an image of the '2' on the date. See if you can see something under that digit? Also on the top of the head. You might see some doubling on that area? On the 'I' on IN it looks like the 'I' is lower and bent a bit. Interesting. I don't recall seeing that die before? Report this Post to the Staff
Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 07/03/2020 2:37 pm Coop, As per your request, here are the pics you wanted to see. There seems to be a little doubling over the hair, especially above the forehead. I have included closer pics of the "I" of IN. There's nothing noticeable under the "2". Report this Post to the Staff
