<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WriterIN, post: 1348082, member: 35620&quot;]I&#039;ve had this one for a while. Two-thirds of the Obverse is perfectly normal. The remaining third shows STRONG smushing (for ant of a better term) from lincoln&#039;s nose through the front part of his chest and obliterates most of the date and mintmark. I thought someone sanded it (note lines following the pattern), but there are no corresponding scratches on the rims, top and bottom. I&#039;m thinking it&#039;s MD, but WHAT mint equipment could have caused this?</p><p>[ATTACH]156018.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]156019.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]156020.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]156021.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]156022.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>What look like vise marks on the reverse are rows of little black dots following what looks like an old fingerprint. No physical damage. Fun one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
