Error Die Clash/Break | 1983P-CLO-002

I found this Lincoln a few of hours ago and it looks a lot like the 1983 "Extra Letters in Motto" CLO-002. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Joel,
I went to photograph my example of this, only to find some horrible carbon spots obscuring the area! I'm mortified. Used to be a fine example. Anyway, take a look at Brad's page here to compare to yours. http://lincolncentresource.com/Featu...raLetters.html I think yours is just showing some plating disturbance in the same area. It doesn't match. You should not only see the arcs (in a different location than yours), but also a pretty clear extra N and G, which I also don't see on your coin. Your coin does not looks like the counter-clash to me. This is one of my favorite varieties.

Will, I accept your judgement and thank you for it. Also, I am very sorry to hear about your sample and hope it can be rectified.
