If you zoom in on the edge photo you can see parallel, vertical (if the coin were laying flat) lines. Are those the marks you are referring to?
I tried finding verdicare for sale somewhere online but couldn’t find it anywhere. Not even eBay of Amazon! I will certainly try acetone and a...
Do you think it can be saved with a product like VerdiCare?
Yeah I’m thinking it’s damage. I’d guess it was a bump from being dropped but there’s no raised metal around the area and I don’t know if a cent...
I found this coin while going through some wheat cents. I noticed something on the rim and thought it looked like it maybe was a clip. I held...

Nice grouping you have there! I don’t have many indian head cents. Just the two in my type set and this one. It’s a very low grade, but I love the...
You pretty much nailed it. The shape is odd. I understand the reason for the curve at the top. But they need to find another way to get the coin...
I’ll rephrase my question.
I’ll say NT but not MA.
...what will happen to all the coins? Will they just sit in boxes in peoples basements, attics or garages for years or generations?
Ok I guess I should have worded my original post differently. To me, the toning appears questionable. If I were to stumble upon that coin raw of...
And questionable color too!
