coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/16/2009 12:22 am This appears to be damage. I don't know what caused the damage, but it does not look like a genuine struck through error. Report this Post to the Staff

Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 04/16/2009 06:26 am If not for the damage to the R I would have said that it was pitting rom verdigris that had been removed. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 04/17/2009 11:38 pm The marks along Lincolns jacket and neck would be consistent with post mint damage. As far as above the head, I would have to say post mint as well but as coppercoins stated, by what? Whatever it was, it looks to have pushed the leg of the "R" to the left slightly. You can also see two small marks on the rim above the "T" if you look closely. Interesting. swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 04/17/2009 11:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 04/18/2009 1:04 pm It is weird... it looks like it was eaten away. It may have had corrosion at one time and then maybe cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 04/18/2009 5:49 pm Do you have a pic of the reverse? It is my opinion that whatever caused the marks on Lincoln, also caused the impressions by "TR" and below "S" in TRUST. It's really . I'm trying to think what could have caused that "sea sponge" look. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 04/18/2009 6:36 pm Back is not damaged as I suspected. Looks like the obverse marks were caused by something mechanical moving up the coin, almost like a dremel blade. The spacing is fairly consistent. I guess my Law Enforcement background makes me investigate this coin to death swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
