    And it's 20 % off?:confused: I'd pay $15 tops. It looks like a buffed vf.

    Look at LIBERTY. I think it was struck by lightning. Or maybe its the glare off the proof like surface.

    How can you go wrong when it's marked down by 20%?

    Polishing a worn coin and calling it uncirculated is like pulling an old rusted car out of a junk yard, throwing some paint and wax on it and calling it factory new condition.

    Well, all it says is "Gem BU Proof like surfaces" so I have to agree. The surfaces are like a "Gem BU Proof" whatever that is, I mean the surfaces ARE copper in both cases so they are alike......right???

    Also, he took a very good picture.........

    It's this kind of junk that drives me nuts... 20% off no less. :confused:
    Just another reason to see a coin in your hand before you buy... only this one is obvious.

    Would this be the reason for the porous look of Lincoln?

    Yep, lack of detail but no obvious wear instead a roughened surface on the devices, raised blems in the field yet a PL look to the fields. but the blems are not polished. The action of the EDM leaves the resultant die with a rough surface and the occasional pits. The dies are polished to remove the roughness creating the PL look to the fields but the polishing doesn't get down into the devices or remove the larger pits in the fields.
