[QUOTE="This_is_wes, post: 3521936, member: 102356"]Wanted to share this Lincoln and get some opinions. Definitely thin (1.4g) and appears to have two retained objects on the obverse. Different colors so I’m thinking from a different planchet? Reverse has a ghost image of Lincoln and a piece missing after-strike. Trying to figure out how this could end up with a good die strike on both sides and a ghost image on the rev. If a uniface strike this would have a strong obverse and only a incuse Lincoln ghost image on the reverse. If it was double struck with another planchet it should show flattened weak details on the reverse, not a ghost image. If a double struck with a brockage on the second strike I would expect stronger or more expanded details transferred to the reverse. Could it possibly be just a regular strike of a thin planchet with retained pieces AND a greasy ghost image? Thinking if it was a vice job more details would be transferred. Also, they’d have to risk a thin planchet coin to make it..[/QUOTE]
