Is the hit on a higher portion of the coins design?&nbsp; Just look at the new Lincoln&#039;s second issue near where the doubled dies are found.&nbsp; That biggest index finger has sustained hit in 2 out of three coins, it&#039;s the highest portion of the reverse die.</p><p>What I want you to learn for you is all aspects of coins (in this case) that have hits.&nbsp; With that knowledge you will be better armed for another thousand coin questions that you will see in the fututue, 10&#039;s of thousands then you can help others this same way.</p><p>This thought process is what I want you to learn for you so you can answer your own questions better not to spare us or anything else.&nbsp; I just feel like we are spinning our collective wheels here by not stressing, do the work first then ask! </p><p>Would you really want to me just post a picture when I have the oppertunity to help you really learn???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
