JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21620 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 4:24 pm Too pixilated to really tell. Do not use screen shots, we need clear photos to see the detail. Report this Post to the Staff
NEWmrMatic Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 4:27 pm Not screenshots. Camera. You can't see the Y is smaller & thinner? Edited by NEWmrMatic 03/09/2023 4:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

NEWmrMatic Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 5:38 pm I honestly can't see how you can't see the difference with the Y. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96800 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 6:40 pm The Y is thinner due to die polishing - even the edge of the back Lincoln's neck almost gone too, But please try yo not post up black and white extremely pixelated images, they really don't help and are a distraction. Taking a larger image and just zooming in the image to see the pixels is just not desirable. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

NEWmrMatic Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 6:57 pm Thanks, @Dearborn. @merclover, they are not screenshots. Camera zoomed in. It's really hard to get under 300KB without cropping, but then end up being blurry and pixelated. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 03/10/2023 06:23 am I agree with Dearborn that the effect is due to over-polishing. The "Y" and back of Lincoln's shoulder are lacking clarity. It's difficult to see if die polishing lines are visible. Can you see many in hand? The mint may have been trying to remove a clash since there were so many clashes in 1983. EDIT: There do seem to be remnants of two clashes in bays 2&3. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 03/10/2023 06:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96800 Posts	Posted 03/10/2023 06:52 am Yep, Pete is right, I didn't notice the clash in the bays, but I was thinking a polishing job to erase one.
