<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lawdogct, post: 37478, member: 1476&quot;]I have to agree with GD on several points.&nbsp; Without these specific coin(s) in hand for examination, pictures can only offer conjecture, regardless if we have a coin similar to Divines or not.&nbsp; Also, debate the facts to no end, not emotions, i.e agree to disagree.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as mint or post-mint, personally, I also lean towards the side of the mint being the cause, only because &#039;ve come across dozens of more recent lincolns showing the same kind of details missing, in varying degrees, and in exactly the same regions.&nbsp; Sort through $25 of lincoln&#039;s from your local bank and you&#039;ll stand a high chance of doing the same.&nbsp; An &quot; E PLURIBUS&quot; missing here, an &quot;of&quot; missing there...Lincolns details being a bit flattened in appearence.&nbsp; Minor weak struck, struck through, die wear, filled die, or whatever you to attribute it to, IMHO they are not worth much until extreme (like all but the faintest ghost of lincoln remaining) .&nbsp; But if you find one interesting, by all means keep it.&nbsp; To me, that&#039;s what coin collecting is, and should always be, all about.....collecting what you like.&nbsp; Hey, I kept an UNC one where Lincolns bowtie is all but gone, just because I found it interesting. </p><p><br /></p><p>One final thought for Divine, I know your pretty new to the forum, and may feel you&#039;ve touch off a small fire storm.&nbsp; Don&#039;t let it daunt you from asking further questions.&nbsp; I personally appreciate your inquisitive posts and have learned more with each one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
