<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eric6794, post: 3637102, member: 76066&quot;]For those that don&#039;t know the term Pareidolia <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia</a></p><p>This coin has some zinc rot that makes it look like there are some extra letters and numbers on it but in fact there is not it just happens to be in a shape that makes your mind believe that it is. For example the top part of the coin between the st on trust on the rim it appears there is a u and make some beginners think that some how the u in trust was doubled or misplaced but in reality the coin just took a hit that pushed the metal down and made the appearance of a u. From left to right on the bust of Lincoln the first looks like a d the middle looks like a d and the mark on the right either looks like the number 8 or the letter s which might lead someone to believe that somehow the 8 was misplaced or somehow a San Francisco mint mark was added but again it is your mind playing tricks on you and in fact this is just zinc rot. I am not the best at explaining things but I thought I would put this on here with links and definitions to help some people out. The best reference for learning about errors that I have found is&nbsp; <a href="http://www.error-ref.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/</a>.&nbsp; Ok im done I just thought I&#039;d share this ugly coin to show an example of Pareidolia. If others care to chime in on something I forgot or have better links please share.[ATTACH=full]976093[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]976094[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]976095[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]976096[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
