Hey guys, Been a while since I have posted here, hope everyone is well. I just posted this on the CU boards then realized the Lincoln guys are all here.
I put this aside a while back to look at it closer and I had a chance tonight. Has anyone seen this die on a 1980 Lincoln? At first blush it sure looks like a second 9, but it also looks like it could be a well placed die gouge.
The pics are not great because I don't have my camera and had to use an old point and shoot. I included one pic with a 60X micro.
You can see more of the curve that follows a misplaced 9 that doesn't show in the pics.
Any ideas/comments ?

No it can't be a dropped letter or number. A dropped letter or number will leave a incuse mark . As the article explained; "When the planchet is subsequently struck by the dies, the dislodged piece will be struck into the coin. This piece will either stay imbedded in the surface of the coin or fall out".
Yours could be a die gouge.
