<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alurid, post: 3389874, member: 81991&quot;]The weakness that is on the States area of your coin is a common feature on LMC&#039;s.</p><p>It is caused by the metal trying to fill the larger opening of the Obverse die,Lincoln&#039;s lapel. It does take time for the Metal to Flow into all of the dies designs. And the rate at which coins can be Struck does not allow for this.</p><p>As for the lines seen in that same area, I would say that they are linear plating bubbles. And a plating bubble near the FG at lower right corner of Memorial, </p><p>Which could be a die chip but it look to round for that.</p><p>On LWC the weak spot shows up opposite Lincoln Head more often.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
