<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sketcherpbr, post: 498550, member: 15350&quot;]Today was a great day.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got my brand-spanking new 2009 ASE, 1909 VDB PCGS MS65RD, and my 10x loupe (a Bausch &amp; Lomb Hastings Triplet), as well as some other ASEs.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And some drool.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>However!!!&nbsp; The purpose of this thread to both ask a question and to praise.&nbsp; As of right now, I have crossed eyes, the beginning of a headache, and a PROFOUND RESPECT for those that look through loupes for more than 5 minutes every day trying to find DDOs or anything that requires a closer look.&nbsp; I mean, seriously.&nbsp; As I type this, I&#039;m not entirely certain that my eyes aren&#039;t crossed a little.&nbsp; I keep shaking my head to try to get back to normal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, here&#039;s the question.&nbsp; Having spent some time with my new loupe, I found 2 Lincolns that appear to have been struck with grease-filled dies.&nbsp; However, once I found 2 that had lack of detail in the same area, I became skeptical, and I don&#039;t know if they&#039;re grease-filled die errors or not. </p><p><br /></p><p>The area in question is the last couple of letters in &quot;STATES&quot; and &quot;OF&quot;.&nbsp; There is no wear around the area, and the details are very well preserved IMO.&nbsp; Any help?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your input!</p><p>-Peter[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
