IsThisAnything Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 04/28/2021 10:35 pm My guess is the flattening making it look that way. Wait for the experts though. I like this coin because of image of Lincoln on the reverse. It's not a die clash. Coop explained it and now I can't recall. Report this Post to the Staff
