Thanks ken454. You did me a great service in trying to define an interesting error on a 1920 Lincoln. When I get decent photographs I'll post them.
Glad to hear that a cleaned coin has some value.
At the moment I will feel lucky if I get favorable comments.
Are you saying that the rating should be AU 55 or AU 58? My lowering to AU 53 included: on OBS: scant demarcation between nose and field, smudge...
I was responding to Chadhr's reaction to paddyman98. Specifically I was commenting on the last five coins Chadhr had shown. I found no error in...

When I look at the new pictures I can agree that it can be an AU, but only an AU 50. It looks like Ike combed his hair in two directions and his...
A good looking coin but the weakness on of letters of "In God We Trust" that are near the rim would bring it down to EF.
It looks to me like a lamination that started and then gave up. Super Dave picks up on the lapel area. That shows pretty hefty mishandling and...
I am presently involved with a 1920 Lincoln that has a laminate error that I hope to show as soon as I get some pictures. (I consider it to be my...
It would be better to keep the massacred coins as a memento.
Glad to see we are getting expert information here.
