Nothing special but nice for an almost 30 year old Zincoln found in change.

Here is a pic of the 81s, reverse. Zoom in for unc evidence. There are three cleaned, and an 80 shown, same casual storage, for comparison. The only blemishes are what ever occured as they sat. Way too vivid as a wrapper reaction. Webbed and splotched due to dissimilar metal reaction? Incomplete mixing leaves one with what you started with, two different metals. Some is alloyed, to an extent, hence, a lesser corrosive reaction. The splotching is inconsistant, because the planchet has unknown ratios of zinc/copper throughout. A simple way to imagine what happened, is mixing chocolate syrup with milk, but not stirring very well. Badly mixed marble cake, another, just sayin...
Those colors, as well as my avitar, are not stains! It is the color of the planchet itself, in each particular "spot", blue, red/blue. Some edges, most, are not soft edged as one would expect with "staining". If the planchet were absorbant, the spots would be puffy edged. Also, since when does brass alloy pennies "stain", permanently, saturated and unremovable? From a kid on, myself and millions of others, using only saliva, rubbing, erasers, you name it, had made zillions of them look like "new" again. Tar was tough, mind you, but I've never shined one up that resulted in a look like these 81s, not even close..There is an error site that addresses bad alloy mix, from no mixing at all to almost mixed, just saying.
It's gonna take some time, skeptics abound, inferences too, unstandably. Anyway, again, OMR, amateur storage, unc, untainted, honest discovery. It remains something to look closer at. Marbled in folks, that's what Im seeing. Again, Wilmington De area, open for inspection..Meantime, scope and look, a mirad of hues, zinc blue, copper red, radical blending, blue and red make purple, etc., etc....

 

There is no alloy issue. What you're seeing is simply the result of poor storage. I've opened a few hundred improperly stored rolls and they looked exactly like yours.

 

And we now return to our regularly scheduled programming:

Oops

 

Wow, now that is one unique looking coin.

The reverse looks like a colorful illustration of a bubbly underwater canyon out of a children's book about talking fish or something. Cool!

 

Switched cameras. NGC MS64RB...

 

Wow, the finish on that coin almost makes it look like some of the post 1982 Zinclns.

 

64? Harsh grade! That's a beautiful example!!

 

I'll trade you even!

Never sent this one in for fear of a possible MS-63 grade, I'd rather see it in an AU-58 holder - where I personally think it belongs:

 

The pictures above is how it looks in hand. It looks nothing like these pictures....but..... if you angle the camera and light, there are signs of rub that aren't readily apparent in hand.

AU-58 candidate?

 

I think it would be an AU-58.

 

"AU-58 candidate?"
MS60+....'cabinet friction'.

 

Those are some pretty cool die markers from the C and through the center of the O.

 

Yup, that's kind of how I call it too....but I want a 58!

 

Registry Set?
