    I see nothing provocative on it. Apparently, the former owner had a vivid imagination.

    Same here, I thought maybe I was missing something. He said it was really faint, but I see zilch unless the writing was done by a chicken...

    I see bent-over lady in One Cent's "O"... Weird that you ask, I see it in all US 1 cents.

    Looks like an old cleaning. The damage will probably be more apparent in hand.

    There's a guy holding up a sign that reads "Eat at Joe's" where VDB used to be.....

    No green, it says "Eat At Moe's" :D
    Seriously though abe, I don't see anything either except some faint scratches.

    The term graffiti prior to spray paint did imply scratching into a substance. It could be a letter,number,symbol, design. It was noted in Roman days and before where statues and official building were so marked. In ceramics graffiti means to scratch a design ( usually through an overcoat of glaze, revealing an undercoat of a different color before firing. So scratches ( even chicken scratches ) could be graffiti :)

    Well Jim, I've looked over the latest pic and I do beleive the "graffiti" to be alien in nature. We are not alone......

    I see it! I think I see it! There are some letters or numbers running from the top of Lincolns forehead down to an area just above the date. Whatever the word or number, to read it you would have to turn the coin 90 degrees. Very faint and can't make it out, but I think it's there.

    So, I'm ready for the jokes and comments. Come on. I got big shoulders, I can take it. LOL
