These 80's woodies are fairly common, more so with the one-sided type. IMO, it is not caused by a poorly mixed alloy because the appearance is...
Yep! I consider this setup 3 layers of protection. Then the binders to into a big ziplock bag with desiccant/copper cent and then finally in a...
Never look at it, always felt the employees would think I'm sizing it for theft. However, I do look at the old "give a penny, take a penny"...
Yes, my best coins are there with layers of protection. I don't own albums, just binders. [ATTACH]
It's a beautiful coin, that's just a minor bit of toning and shouldn't have much of an effect on the grade. Coins are mostly graded on eye appeal...

Cool clash! I like it!
For the life of me I'll never understand why people/TPG's don't apply this to Lincoln Memorial cents. I'm a freak over this with my Lincoln...

EF details/cleaned, agree
Wow, hard to believe they got it right!
What you see at an angle is pretty common on copper. Based on the first picture, this coin is very natural with market acceptable toning. I can...
Large date....next time post a close up of the date.
Allow me to educate him some more... The V.B.D. is of very low relief on the 1909's. It tended to easily fill with hard machine grease,...
Grease filled die.
No, the VDB is low in relief and will be one of the last things to wear.
I was once selling a 1929-S Lincoln in a MS-65RD NCG slab. Thought I'd try some new place for fun. The owner started nit-picking the coin with...
