.1 of a gram is so miniscule that I don't think it has anything to do with what you are seeing. It certainly can't cause what you are seeing there. At this point, I am no longer going to render any opinions on this coin. I gave you my opinion, and I guess that's what I am sticking to as I have no other guesses.Leave a comment:

Mustbebob, I'm actually familiar with the Mad Die Clashes website. I have a question. Could there be a flaw in the planchet thickness in that small arc area. It weighs 2.4 grams. All the ones I've weighed in the past were dead on 2.5 grams. I'm just trying to figure out what produced that slight ridge line. It's definitely not damage because the E in WE is struck over it and so is Lincoln's back of head.Last edited by Coindog; 06-21-2021, 08:36 PM.Leave a comment:

I don't doubt you for a second. What I can tell you is that it is not a clash. It doesn't look like one and most of the Memorial building (which is what a clash close to this would be) is straight lines. I can also tell you that even a stain can have a ridge if the liquid spilled on it was thicker and left some residue. Of course, this is all a guess on my part. I am only going by what it looks like to me.
Here are some clash photos from J. Cuve and Mad Die Clashes.com that show you the location of clash marks,

Mustbebob , I know photos sometimes don't display all the physical characteristics of certain errors and that is expected. When I drag my fingernail across that portion of that field, there is a definite impression edge that is felt there.Leave a comment:

I don't see any indications of a clash. What I do see looks like a stain of some sort. Even a rotated misaligned die clash wouldn't leave any marks in that area.Leave a comment:

I believe the obverse has a die clash that runs across the field from 9 o'clock to 1 o'clock.You do not have permission to view this gallery.
