grissinb New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 01/20/2025 10:30 am Please share thoughts on this 1993d Lincoln memorial. Not saying it's an error, but my curiosity is running amuck trying to figure out how this would happen. Sorry, I did not add a reverse image as there is nothing unusual about the reverse of this coin except for maybe some very slight doubling. What would cause the indented lettering of this coin? thnx * Edited by Staff to clarify the topic title.
