    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    It's an '85 D.

    Is there anything else you'd want me to look at?

    Looks like a normal circulated 85D. A little nicer than some but nothing out of the ordinary.
    But hey, if you like it, it's a keeper :)

    Super common in that area of the reverse. I think I've seen more with it than non-grease filled coins haha.

    Good eye on the line behind his head. Could be a strike through.

    Nice coin, great photo. I bet it gives off a rainbow of color when rotated in the light. That alone will make you want to keep it.

    That is normal @paddyman98 The base of the bust is the other side of that area. The base of the bust has a VERY sharp drop off to field level. Classic failure to fill because of a weak striking.

    Please take this information with a grain of salt as I have been told by other members that I am uneducated and don’t know what I’m talking about. This might be true about any other coin EXCEPT LINCOLNS!! Thanks for the nice reply. That is refreshing to see.
    Sincerely
