Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 03/19/2024 7:18 pm What could have made this divet into Lincoln's cheek? I understand scratches, but this looks like something round and blunt would have made a very hard hit. and "squished it upward". Very technical explanation. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 03/19/2024 8:19 pm Well, here's a 2003 with the same look. May be part of the intended design. I know Lincoln had high cheek bones, but this is a little overdone. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10547 Posts	Posted 03/19/2024 10:54 pm It's just the way the obverse was designed. Could also be the fact it was a newer die being used as the details are still pretty sharp. OP coin....... Report this Post to the Staff
