I love FEs. 35 obverse 25 on the reverse, I’m going to say 30.
I didn’t look up the attribution but it is a RPM evident by the split serifs: [ATTACH]
Nice find! I’m in the Elmers glue camp. If it is just Elmers you can soak it in acetone and it will remove it. If it’s the school type, a water...
It’s PMD. You can see the moved metal and the clean copper color. Fresh copper color on a brown cent is an indication of PMD.
It’s design devouring die deterioration. That’s evident by the striations in the outer fields....

Congrats!!!!! Stage B! Very nice coin.
Die scratches from cleaning, the obverse ring is from a worn die.
Sorry for the slow response but I was going through all of my top shelf coins to pick you a fitting prize. Now everyone please don’t burn up...
I’m at 65, not FS.
