    Here's another plating blister in a Zincoln. A 1983 D giving the appearance of a pencil in Abe's ear.

    It's above his ear, right where it belongs.

    Yes, that would have been a quilt. Nice call tommyc03.

    Yes, again to Collecting Nut as Lincoln was right handed.

    I cropped and zoomed in on part of the painting of President Lincoln, writing the Proclamation of Freedom January 1st, 1863 painted by David Gilmour Blythe.

    The painting shows Lincoln holding the quilt in his right hand near the ink well.

    I'd trade all my coins for that original painting.
