He is clearly thicker than the rest of the coin than normal and nearly as thick as the Rim. And Abe is thicker than any other Coin he hangs out on. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 11:08 am @new, I'm hoping to clarify a couple things with you. First, do you mean the seated Abe on the rev or the portrait of Abe on the obverse? Also, when you say thicker, are you describing a situation when he is more proud than normal (i.e. sticks up out of the screen)? Thx.

NEWmrMatic Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 11:33 am @coop I agree. But if what causes the bust to be thicker than normal and nearly as thick as the Rim and collar? Report this Post to the Staff
