Hi I’ve come across this coin I’m not certain if the thing on his chin is an error I’ve not found anything like it so far. And is this a floating roof? Any help would be appreciated.
Basically, As it turns out, the illusion of the floating roof on the Lincoln Memorial was caused by die polishing. Die polishing is a fairly routine process by which a mint employee removes damage on a die by buffing out imperfections caused by wear. However, sometimes certain important details on the coin die will be inadvertently obliterated through aggressive die polishing. Welcome to the forum!
