Would a strike through cause the doubling of back of Lincoln's head? And does the C in CENT seem slightly lower?
Too bad about the damage (that gouge that runs from IN and down the back of his head.) As 32-D is a good date. The color of the reverse indicates it may have been cleaned, also a bummer.
that color looks like a light acid got too it....probably a 3 year olds digestive tract. Poop colored for a reason lol.
Lol...figured it's been through washing machine rollers back in the day when hanging clothes to dry was the routine before dryer's. And a couple trips down the toilet and sewer sytems...
I have a 1941 DD but someone at some point tried to acid wash it. I dont know for sure but the color will last decades if not forever once its done. So frustrating!
My brother who passed away in 1975 was a collector also. He used a rubber erasure to clean wheat cents and they still look the same today decades later. But I kept them anyways because they were his.
