Those aren't always caused by straight Die Deterioration. Sometimes you get those ridges from over polishing of the Fields. Is there a faint 8 in front of Lincoln's nose ? This is one of the many coins I have seen posted on here that I wish I could view in hand. Thanks for sharing. Report this Post to the Staff

Eagle_Eye Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 07/29/2021 1:20 pm SamCoin, I would have to agree with you on my eyesight. My wife more so as she braces for impact every time I pull up behind any cars while driving. My depth perception is shot. That being said, 1989 has some really nice MAD clashes, especially on the LMC, some floating ones too, and my trained Eyes see something interesting there that has been mostly polished away. Thanks for the welcome! EE Report this Post to the Staff
