    Ran across this little gem , what a semi key, Lincoln ? Well time to ask....?
    Nice album coin....I'm thinking that minus the rim dings this would be a $75/$100 coin, it has a nice patina ..... C:WINDOWSTempE871 - 20200509_123442.jpg C:WINDOWSTempE872 - 20200509_123452.jpg

    And in the same mess this target toned like dime center no plating in the center.
    I recall when I first aquired it in change....the rev, center a bright [ at that time] copper color.trimed in the silver 360 degrees.

    very cool. I ran across a 1914-D in a group many years back but it was an altered date.

    Your talking some 50 years ago old canvas bag found down the basement.....and from the boxes I'm guessing they were given to my wife,' by my parents ' when I wasnt home. So yes sort of rediscovered forgotten they ever were.....type of finds.
    Dad was on one of his ....he's been gone how many years and his junk is still taking up space moods. To keep peace the wife just file it down the basement.

    At least it was found and I'll say protected as 50 plus years in a basement is not good for coins.
