<p>[QUOTE="Scubalou, post: 20501675, member: 101267"]I wouldn't call the image so much as "ghostly" since it is too low to be an outline of Abe's head and inconsistent with his shape. It does not conform to the shape of any of the obverse devices. Therefore I have my doubts about PIDT. It's random inconsistency defies a production consistence with that of striking error. To me it's more like a "sunrise" behind the memorial randomly spreading down the sides to "ONE CENT". The "sunrise" also appears on the obverse in front of Abe's face - fading into "trust". Possibly also behind his bust appearing above liberty. None of these signs point me to a design transfer. Personally I'm leaning to planchet irregularity, especially since they are different on the obverse and reverse. IMO. BTY It's unfair to force my brain to function in this manner so early in the morning, after only one cup of coffee. Do you grad on a scale??? Sometime I'd like to discuss "die deterioration", seems to be a standard answer somewhat like "struck thru grease". Especially when applied to only some devices. Seems to me it should be more consistent throughout a die. Thanks: Lou[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
