<p>[QUOTE="AWORDCREATED, post: 1713914, member: 52245"]<b>At the risk of becoming annoying ...</b></p><p><br /></p><p>More scans, some show the wrinkly nature of the finish. Yesterday my scanner started overheating and all the scans got whiter and whiter. In the one where Abe is planking you can see that indent in front of his chin as if something extra was on the die. In the one where the building is standing on the initials that coloration is off, but shows contrast to see the wrinkles and extra raised areas. (That stuff by the C in cent is on the scanner glass.) I have been reading ... and this looks like a dropped letter situation, which explains the major piece and all the associated little chunks of crud on both sides - but I don't understand how they end up as a positive equal to the lettering rather than getting smooshed into the coin. On the other hand the major stuff is lined up pretty good, so perhaps a die crack? What causes the lined up wavy wrinkles on the mirror like field? And this may be a stretch, but his hair under the GO in god seems to be growing a little buck fawn nub, maybe another lil extra pieces of stuff. Thank you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
