jdpiper65 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 03/20/2021 7:27 pm Can someone give me a clue? Looks like the planchet was losing its cladding or something. The date and Liberty appear to be on top of this while the Lincoln portrait has it on the top. In God We Trust are also not showing this over the top so it looks like this was stamped on a poor planchet or something. Report this Post to the Staff
