EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 03/11/2024 8:28 pm Hi, This is hard to show, but there is like a halo effect around chest and face of Lincoln. The other pennies show a single thin line, but this one has a thicker line as a boundary on face and chest. Marlies Report this Post to the Staff

EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 03/11/2024 8:36 pm -Coinfrog- The second photo shows it better. See the dark thick boundary? That's in place in what normally would be a thin outline of Lincoln on right side. Marlies Report this Post to the Staff
EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 03/11/2024 8:42 pm -jfeed- Yes there is a carbon spot but the area of focus is the right side on Lincoln outline that seems to be a thick shadow rather than a thin line.
