[QUOTE="Evan8, post: 4702987, member: 74343"]See those marks on Lincoln's shoulder? Those would be planchet marks. Small dings that appeared on the planchet before striking due to other planchets hitting it. The shoulder of Lincoln is a weaker point that when struck didnt always erase those marks. Matte proof planchets were special and never touched one another, therefore shouldnt show any planchet marks on the shoulder of Lincoln. Your rims arent square enough either, especially on the reverse. Also, the master hubs were given more details in 1915 making the 1915 and 1916 Lincolns much sharper. So much so that a lot of times MS 1915 and 1916 Lincoln's often get mistaken for proofs. If that's a proof (it's not), then so is mine:rolleyes: [ATTACH=full]1154863[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1154865[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1154866[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
