What you see there is MD. It's a very typical spot to find MD on the Lincoln series (LWC, LMC, LSC). Spendable.
I think it's terrific that you (and others) are on a self improvement kick and doing so well! We all need to self evaluate. Some will modify...
I hear you gentlemen. I've been going through a few rolls of 1961D's and found dozens of variety specimens. The two columns of cents on the...
Sometimes it's just necessary to remove grunge from a coin to see what it is. I found a nasty coin during a CRH event; an LWC. The reverse was...

Especially for this date, it's very common. You can still find uncirculated specimens in circulation, dumped by their previous owner/collector to...
Ehhh...as you've seen, I'm pretty patient with folks. Funny thing is that in the midst of this pandemic, I find that I'm extremely patient in the...
