I have been checking my 97 Lincolns lately usually I skip through them but every now and then I take a look to see if it has a doubled ear. I found this coin and i'm not sure exactly what to make of it. I see what appears to be a die chip on the eye of Lincoln but it is an elongated chip if it is and I don't see it as a die crack but maybe I am wrong.
your right with Zincolns its all possible but Linear plating blister runs under the device. Am I correct?
Lincoln has joined Spectre! James Bond's Spectre. SPECTRE (an acronym of Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion) All he needs now is a white Cat in his lap.
