But then I noticed 1) that the writing is very "crisp" (I would think that copper on copper would 'smash' both coins equally resulting in a 'sloppy' transfer, and 2) the letters of the word "LIBERTY" are standing out and do not appear to be smashed in the indentation made by Lincoln's head.</p><p> </p><p>Anyway, here are two pictures of the reverse side. You can make-out the slight 'half-moon' shape that corresponds to the indentation on the front (left side). Again, thanks for your time.</p><p> </p><p>Alan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
