Through the past couple of years, we have seen more than a fair share of odd looking reverse die statues of dear old Abe. This one though may take the cake for being the oddest. I have nicknamed this one "Flame Top"
It seems that Mr. Lincoln may have gotten himself a job with the circus.
In reality, this is a trail die, although I am not quite sure if this is a distortion caused by that anomaly. Bob Piazza was the initial founder of this unusual die and another has surfaced showing the same affects.

OK...
It took a while but the words popped into my head.
"He blew his top"

Nice find, Bob. And it doesn't look like Bart Simpson - it looks like his mother... 'cept the hair's not blue. Bummer.

This certainly is an interesting critter, but as BJ said, I don't know if it can be attributed to the trails themselves. On the other hand, if it was strictly a coincidence, it picked a nice coin to show up on. Anyway...if it's Marge Simpson, maybe she finally got the hair coloring figured out

It looks like Abe was auditioning for a role as one of the cone heads on the old Saturday Night Live skits.
