Not sure what happen to the back of Lincoln's bust.

looks to me like machine doubling ...
.
the thing over the 9 and 7 looks like water or glue...it may chip off or can be removed with acetone
.
the discoloration on the reverse could be glue that was there when the cent toned and turned brown
that then chipped off leaving a more red color... or a tarnish remover/chemical came into contact with it in that areaLast edited by onecent1909; 12-23-2015, 08:58 PM.

I agree with the MD on the back of the jacket. However, the spot on the date may not be glue. If it is incuse, it may be a small struck through, so the question is, is it raised or incuse?Bob Piazza

I agree with the MD and it sure looks like a minor struck through also like Bob said.Comment

OK with the info that it is incused this brings me to a question that I have pondered a few times.
the area looks "deep". It does not look like it is on the surface.
it is not a piece of fabric.. I imagine that it is hard so that it is deeply struck
.
I have a struck through reeding on a half.
the design of the eagle can be made out that it is something there but you can not see the edge vs the field.
It all blends together. Especially under magnification... it is all just a blur
.
On the OP coin in question I see the edge of the 9 and the edge of the 7 vs the field.
QUESTION: Would a struck through at that location obliterate the edge of the 9 and the 7?
.. OR.. would you be able to see them vs the field?
someone with experience in strike through please elaborate on which would happen..... Thanks
See pics of my Half for comparisonLast edited by onecent1909; 12-26-2015, 09:26 AM.Member: Florida State representative for the ANA, Florida state representative for CONECA, F.U.N. and the Ocala Coin ClubComment

In this case, the spot is most likely a struck through.The spot is incused sir. I put it under higher magnification .
A struck through wouldn't necessarily obliterate the edges of the devices. It could have been some hardened grease that broke down while it was being stamped. If this is the case, it would push them (the edges) straight down There are many variables that could come into play depending on what was in the striking chamber at the time.QUESTION: Would a struck through at that location obliterate the edge of the 9 and the 7?
.. OR.. would you be able to see them vs the field?Bob Piazza

I think if you look at it like a lamination peel you will be able to understand why the edges of the numbers are still visible under the field level... In a fairly shallow lamination peel on devices you can still see the device remnants below the field level and the device remnants disappear the deeper it goes... Hope that helps some???Jim
