But it is relevant to milk spots in general and the way that numismatists have considered them created for decades. Take a look at some Franklin...
I read this entire thread mystified that none of this was brought up yet.
I'm not so sure that it's been harshly cleaned. I see plenty of mint luster remaining, but the plastic from the flip give it the harsh cleaning...
53-55 would be my guess as well.
I've always wanted to do a nice date set of large cents, so I started with the braided hair cents 1839-1857. Many in this set are uncirculated,...

So what is the mintage limit 75,000 or 500,000?
If concert tickets are any indication, eBay would be the wiser decision.
Even if I had the money, I wouldn't go after one. There is no telling how this would pan out and I'd be worried that the government would end up...
