Wonder how much worse this one got? Pulled out of a Loomis roll this morning. Anyone have a later die state of this one?

@nyc, if you are talking about the linear feature that cuts across the date onto Abe's chest, are you sure that this isn't a linear plating bubble?

It's possible but you can see it going across Abe. If it was a bubble, that shouldn't show up, you would think. Can see it going through the zero but doesn't look like it affects it any.

Ok yes well let's see what others think. In the meanwhile, can you please see if you can depress it with the tip of a wooden toothpick? Thx.

Are you able to get a closer picture in focus. Based on what is presented with plating bubble.

It could very well be. I do not look for error coins and only pick them out, if something looks obvious. I will post another I posted last year but it was buried in another thread.

I believe the feature is a linear plating/gas bubble. The toothpick test doesn't always work--sometimes yes, sometimes no.

you have 2 images in your initial post, they do not look like the same coin. are they both yours?
That feature looks to be the same on 'both' coins (if they are different coins) One appears to stop at the 0 of the date, and the other keeps going to the bust.
If these are 2 coins, I highly doubt that they are plating bubbles in the exact location.

@dear, I'm pretty sure that those two images are the same coin, just from different angles and with different amounts of light. Take a look, for example, at the small rim nick at 12 o'clock.

@Dearborn, same coin. My lighting and photos really stink with my phone. I used a 35mm for years and I still prefer it.

you are probably right Spence, but the way the images are posted, different backgrounds, lighting, and zoom factor.
Which is why I'm asking if they are the same or not.
Most likely they are the same coin. and if so, then it would be a linear plating blister.
