Not sure though—I'm interested to see what others think.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8775 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 08:39 am Pretty cool looking and great pics as always! It's a small RIDB and a fairly common place for it to happen. You can see several years that have them in the same place, on the link I have provided but none for 1997. It may be too small to get listed though, JC has limited them to 4 mm or larger. Might be worth giving a try when he starts accepting submissions again. LINK http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-ce...r-die-break/ -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

I hadn't noticed the proliferation of them in his area and around this time frame before. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
