When I saw my first one, my heart sank into my stomach because I thought I just discovered the next new rage in Lincoln cents. But after looking at a few hundred of these now, what you are seeing is very common even on the uncs. I have to admit that it does look as if there were a 6th finger, but unfortunately for us, this is not the "big" one! __________________ "These are the times that try men's' souls.
