    Several months ago I found this 59 cent that appears to have foreign lettering. Starting at the blemish in front of Lincoln's nose, over the bridge of his nose, and onto his forehead. Being new to this I feel help is needed by those with alto more experience. 0725171927a.jpg 0726171433.jpg 0725171928a.jpg 0726171917.jpg 0725171927a.jpg 0726171914c.jpg 0725171928a.jpg 0726171914c.jpg

    Looks like a small lamination.

    While looking at it with a jewelers loop there is definitely letters. Does lamination do that? Sorry for my ignorance but I'm new to this.

    A very small lamination area,
    and lots of bag marks/contact marks.

    No they are not

    Yes it does... just weird shapes and cracks and crevices.. But not a foreign language.

    Just weird I can make out several letters with the jewelers loop. Maybe I will try to get some better pics somehow.

    The first letter in front of the nose appears to be a D the second is a W

    It may appear as such.. but it is not. When Laminations occur they create all types of strange effects. It's just raised metal.. no letters

    Dwayne marks all of his coins like that.

    Lol so does Dwight, working on the pics though going to get a strong magnifying glass to help will post more pics tomorrow. I see what they are saying about lamination errors but these are a little different. Hopefully I can show what I see.
