<p>[QUOTE="Delmer, post: 301712, member: 8219"]The 2 patterns on the left between the pillars are identical to each other, and to a degree, the pattern repeats to the right of 4 columns, starting at the tird-from-the-left, to the space where Lincoln sits. The chair base has part of the pattern across it. I can't think of anything that would be in a mint worker's hand that would be spaced exactly that far apart x 4.. so I think if was etched into the die maybe?? The pictures are not great.. the contact marks are raised of course, and sorta look like the upper right corner of the memorial building.. but not exactly. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are also 2 "curtains" in the upper right corner between 2 of the right columns. </p><p><br /></p><p>Second picture is the same coin.. a die crack that is a perfect lighting strike to the corner of the memorial building.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any ideas about what could make marks like those at the left?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

There are also 2 "curtains" in the upper right corner between 2 of the right columns. Second picture is the same coin.. a die crack that is a perfect lighting strike to the corner of the memorial building. Does anyone have any ideas about what could make marks like those at the left?[/QUOTE]
