Yep, I agree. If your asking about a forrest don't show images of the cells in tree bark.:D
I think maybe the OP is asking whether the die has been overpolished, not the coin. I've seen worse.
Well, unfortunately, you're not going to be able to retire on it. I'd estimate you could get 10-15 dollars for it on ebay. Still a lot more than...
Here's the best site to see if it matches any known mint mark varieties, if it is one. http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php

Nice set you got going there. Yes, that '69s is a monster in the top pop. There are a couple other early Lincolns that fetch a good price too. The...
