I'm sorry but I still can't be of much help from the image. I would have to see in minute detail if there is any evidence of work done to the rim...
Please let me know if I need to update:-) I'm using the text from the 2005 version, 6th edition as it pertains to Lincoln cents. That's what I...
I might be able to help if you could post a much larger image of the obverse.
What I said sounds an awful lot like Mike D's description. :-) It's pretty straightforward.
I will disagree...ANA says as to EF45, "Some of mint luster may show" EF40 "Traces of mint luster may show". It does not indicate that mint...

It's just a scratch. Coins in Uncirculated sets were not as specially treated as coins made for proof sets. Uncirculated sets contained coins...
