<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ziggy9, post: 1732020, member: 8360&quot;]I hate to burst your bubble on the reverse but it isn&#039;t the result of a clogged die either. Prior to the redesign of the obverse, with Lincoln being reduced to a low relief desigh, it was fairly common to see the reverse look like this in that area. The combonation of higher relief of Lincoln&#039;s bust and a weaker strike pressure resulted in the metal flowing into the bust and a weak strike on the reverse. with the redesign of the obverse to a low profile bust this problem was resolved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
