<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FarmerB, post: 582106, member: 17306&quot;]Angela,</p><p>Welcome to the forum.</p><p>To expound on what bhp3rd stated.</p><p>If you look at the shoulder of Lincoln, you will notice that the outline still exists. This is the same with the date and &#039;Liberty&#039;. As bhp3rd indicated the dies are reverse like a jello mold. Remove the mold and you see the positive design.</p><p>This implies that the original striking process was normal. Then at a latter date some nefarious person or persons unknown took a circular object - like a tube and smacked around Lincoln&#039;s head. Leaving the impression that we observe.</p><p>Hope this helps a little. I have several coins that have been modified in some way. I keep &#039;em&nbsp; - I think they are neat in there own right .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
