You might be able to remove the glue/varnish with some acetone

 

I don't see the DDO

 

How about a image of the date ...

 

Ya i dont have my good lens. Wish i could get better picture of it its to shinny.

 

That wont hurt the finnish

 

Trying to get better pic soon .

 

Working on it . So shinny. It floods out the coin

 

I'm sure Finland will be just fine

 

Heres a pic of date best i could get

 

I am not seeing a DDO. I think you are seeing built up areas of lacquer.

 

Take a look at #3 .
It also has WHO-001 .

Hope you can get the lacquer off of that coin without damaging the coin.

 

Ya thinking of having it restored if possible

 

Could you please explain the who 001

 

Section 4: Working hub. Again, these are common and hold no premium.

Channeling (Trenching): On many Lincoln cents from the 1920s to the 1950s, we see an incuse “channel” surrounding parts or all of Lincoln’s bust. It is believed that many working hubs had this channel engraved around the bust, possibly in an effort to prolong the life of the working hub, or to sharpen the profile, although we are not certain of the reason. Once believed to be a master die issue, it is now more commonly believed to have been done on individual working hubs, as it shows inconsistently on coins within a given year.

 

Awesome thank you much appreciated
