Came across this and would like an opinion! It appears to be a strike through error? It looks like the bush is showing on both sides? Thoughts!
the stain is raised? It also is exactly where the bush is on the rev? I’m leaning towards strike error myself. If it wasn’t raised and flat I’d agree but?
I know? If not a strike error, why the raised surface? Also, just throwing mud here but the bush on the reverse is I believe in the same location on the obverse? Pretty tricky how the same shape appears on both sides? Just saying..
The next question is does Lincoln have a wishbone around his eye? There are a few additional questions but I’m not going to wear out my visit! lol
It might actually be a "Die Chip" Under his Nose. Wishbone? It was just Thanksgiving, so it could be, I guess.
Some kind of dark gunk is on the coin. It's also on his forehead, the 0, splattered in the field, his beard. The gunk on the 0 also seems to be raised. Look at the context of the whole coin instead of focusing on one thing and ignoring the rest. I bet if you soaked it in acetone it would mostly come off, but personally I wouldn't bother, I'd just spend it.
Maybe if someone is bored watching paint dry then. I would also try a toothpick on it or soft brush. It's only worth a Cent anyways.
