Does this 1938 S LWC look like an S/S?

Whenever I come across a recent (or older) thread about some RPM or DDs I get motivated to go through my coins to try and find a similar coin. So I believe I've found a 1930 S/S LWC and would like your opinions on it. It looks like an RPM02 Stage C but very hard for me to determine.

Your thoughts?

Yes, it is an RPM (002). This is a link to the MDS for this: https://coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1938&die_id=1938s1mm002&die_state=mds

Look for the markers and toggle back and forth to the different diestate listings. You'll dial in on that detail too. Nice find!!

 

PS - conserve that coin (don't clean it...conserve it!). The verdigris looks superficial at this point, but you don't want it to worsen.

 

Would you recommend VerdiCare?

 

Yes, if you can get it.

 

I've been on a waiting list for VerdiCare for over two years now.

 

Put a drop of Verdi-care on the date and MM with not a lot of improvement. That green stuff is on pretty good. I'll give it an acetone bath and see if things improve.

 

I would do the distilled water, acetone bath, and finish with the VerdiCare. It'll help to stabilize the verdigris even if it doesn't carry it off the face of the coin.

 

Sounds like a good plan. I have all of those ingredients.

Thanks
Joe

 

It's in distilled water at the moment. I'll probably keep it there thru the weekend.
