<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2436733, member: 1892&quot;]That coin sold for $2200 during the Newman auction, and again for right at $2k a year ago. Between the appearance and pedigree, yeah, I&#039;d throw $2k at it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The blanks dies are created from - before the hubbing process - are milled into a conical shape to aid the hubbing. That&#039;s when these &quot;lathe lines&quot; are created. Normally between hubbing and finishing, they disappear, but this is one die which apparently retained some. You can see them somewhat commonly on Modern Lincolns, and less-commonly on other issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
