Muncie Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 08/06/2022 10:55 pm It looks to me like he has 2 eyes, one on top of the other,and also there seems to be a Y in the back of his head. Are these notable errors and does it make the coin valuable? Thank you for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 08/07/2022 01:19 am @mun, it sounds like you are saying that there is a a doubled eyelid on Abe. I can't see this from the current pics though—any chance of you adding a nice closeup of just this area?
