I just got this full Ngc Pr-69 4 coin Proof Lincoln set. and the 1st coin I ck was LP-2 since there been so many variety of the reveres of the mint stage coin. but I think there a 6th finger on the proof. here are some photos U check them out?
Jello, I saw this occurrence on the unc cents from the mint rolls as well. 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!
I think it's the light (lighting) catching on the 'intermediate phalanges' the middle section of the fore finger. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand
I been wrong before This extra finger on Abe's arm & the Pr-69 are in the mail to John Wexler. maybe he can confirm them or not ?
