mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 02/16/2022 4:49 pm I like unusual errors. Unfortunately, it's so small, I don't think it can be seen with the naked eye. I remember when I could exam a coin without glasses. Now a loupe is a must. Anyways, what is this? Perhaps a die crack from the chin over the lips and through the nose? Notice how the tips of Abe's lips are outlined but mostly missing? There appears to be a tiny PMD mark on the chin just to the right of the die crack and one on the nose pushing the copper above his nose. Or was this the coppers resting place caused by the mint? What do you guys see? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Nice find, you are lucky. PS I forgot the nose: was a big fever flu. Edited by silviosi 02/16/2022 5:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 02/16/2022 5:12 pm Hmm, with that smeared metal on Abe's nose and chin, I think that this is only damage--not a mint error at all. I'm interested to see what others think.

mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 02/16/2022 8:29 pm I have a great sense of humor. Sometimes I just don't get Canuk, ay. By the way, I thought Second City TV was the funniest show on TV. I guess I was a little slow. I took a similar hit to my head too. That's why I post here. Fresh eyes on my stale coin. I do see the PMD now. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
