[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3257976, member: 84179"]Definitely incuse. Look at the pic of the obverse where there base of the Lincoln memorial crosses the field and into the bridge of Lincoln's nose. (EDIT: you pics in post 27 also show this area is incuse) Look at the information so far * Incuse and reversed devices pressed into the coin. * Damaged and out of round rim * Pressed damage on the reverse of the coin opposite the area in question on the obverse * Nobody has been able to come up with an explanation of how this could occur in the mint * Some very knowledgeable members have stated that it can't happen at the mint (and I also agree) So, do you think you found an amazing new type of error that has baffled experienced error collectors and numismatists, or do you thank you may have a coin that was squeezed in a vice? To paraphrase William of Ockham, the 14th Century Franciscan Monk and Philosopher - The simplest explanation is usually the correct explanation.[/QUOTE]
