    first thing I noticed is how the far right edge of his coat doesn’t go all the way up to the bow, but seems to cut off about 2/3 the way up. Does anyone see what I mean? Is this from some kind of die obstruction perhaps? Also there seems to be some raised bars inside some of the column gaps...

    There's a die clash that comes from of the vest, and runs to the number "1" . Mint employee polished everything away, trying to get ride of the die clash .

    I was gonna be simple and say die polishing but Rick nailed the reason for it.

    Thanks guys! How do you know this stuff?? And would this add any value to the coin or not really?

    These guys always amaze me. Good job guys.
    He brought up what looked like extra columns or doubling on the columns. I've got so many cents that look like the have 3 maybe 4 extra lines on the sides of usually just the 2 or 3 outside columns on each side
    Some with extra lines on the left outside of the monument. What would cause this?
    Sorry I'm making this so long.
    There was also what looked like a die crack from the top left corner of the monument. What would the cause of that be? Because I have many cents with 1, 2 even 3 cracks from the corners of the monument?
    These questions tied in with his coin, so I hope this isn't considered hijacking.(yikes)
    Thanks, Foo
