New Memorial Lincoln Variety?

Datentype

Okay, I'm anything but a variety expert but I have a few BU 1984 Lincoln's that are fully struck first strike type coins and on the reverse the memorial barely shows any Abe siting in this throne. I mean these coins rock in terms of overall quality - the best in the entire series pre 2002 and Abe is perfectly missing except for the bottom half of his legs. This might be a 3 legged Buffaloe type of die thing? Any opinions?

Mark,

Can you get some pics? 1984 Lincolns were pretty nasty anyway, maybe a variety could perk up their image? Dave

David, I tried but my digital camera just does not have the horsepower to get it done. I assure you, these are not nasty in way they are superb+++ and Lincoln is missing except from the knee down. It's a real clean cut too with well defined stumps. If i send it in to David hall, what shall i propose for the name? Missing Lincoln Reverse?

Actually, when you pair it with the Illinois quarter, he is complete again!

Send on to Shylock, he can image it with his new toy.

LOL! That's the best one I've seen here in a long time!

Mark, what is the ratio of the "missing Lincolns" to those that show the full sculpture? If I can find one, I think my camera will be able to pick up the detail (or lack of it).

Oh Man, will you guys quit picking on me! I'm serious this is an important Numismatic find here. This will go down with some of the big ones. You guys won't be laughing when these things 9 a week from now!
