<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2415557, member: 1892"]That's a typically weak spot on Lincolns, being directly opposite a very metal-hungry area of the obverse. You can only throw so much metal around in the milliseconds of a strike - what, maybe 100 milliseconds to strike a Lincoln at 150 per minute and factoring feed and outfeed? - so this has to be considered a design flaw from a minting standpoint. It's a prime place to help identify a "good" strike on a Lincoln.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
