Hi, Can you post some other pictures with different lighting? Also, I am sorry to say that I would go with a grader that has a better track...
Sorry guys, I think it is a fake. Could be Chinese in origin. The way the details meet the fields has me worried. Everything is too flat, so...
Nope...worn hubs make worn dies makes the little outline around Lincoln.
Its damage, you can see a small line of damage leading up and to the left starting at the upper left part of the mark. Focus on areas larger...
They are neither a test or any kind of mistake. They are as suggested coins that are struck through a heavy layer of grease. The grease fills in...
