<p>[QUOTE="Bernard Macarius, post: 3649500, member: 106119"]I discovered a 1980 D Lincoln cent with both sides presenting the finish associated with the satin finish one would associate with a deep cameo strike. The edges appear to be 80% normal and a very small portion has the appearance of a normal finish as though it may be a small fraction of what was intended to be the shiny part of a deep cameo strike. I am excited, confused at the same time. It does in no way appear to be environmental, chemical or in any other way created. Has anyone ever seen something of this nature. The way in which it reflects the light at different angles is breathtaking. I have researched for 1 entire week and can find nothing like it or reference to it. Any suggestions. I have taken photos with my scope and review every day in an attempt to ascertain what could have taken place. Unless a planchet was in a die that was being struck for a very large deep cameo coin I do not see how this could have occurred. I ask for assistance please.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
