[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 222183, member: 6763"]Viper, tht is becasue there aren't any scratches. The discolorationis common in early Lincolns. It is due to an impure/improper metal mixture. Sometimes it shows as a woodgrain finish. Also, there are some 'marks' at about 2:00 in the field, ( in front if Lincoln's nose) however, these are not marks, they are from a planchet flaking, from the improper metal mixture. The mark from the bottom of the 2nd T in Trust looks like a die break, but not a scratch. It may also be from the metal misture, but more likely a die break. But, still not an Unc.[/QUOTE]
