Classic, junk, seeded roll. The end coins probably have huge, obverse scratches and the coins in the middle are 1950's wheats.
VF-25/30 details, lightly cleaned, minor damage.
I save copper in any grade. For the 1982 and up Zincolns, I only save MS red coins. From 1982-1993 it's getting harder to find MS red coins in...
24 hours is the recommended maximum soak time. Glad to hear you made some progress but I doubt you'll get full removal. The verdigris in those...
AWESOME FIND! It's not a big deal it came apart IMO, it's more important that you have BOTH halves.

It's 100% fake, I've seen this exact fake many times over.
It's a nice RPM, probably worth $2-3. The BIE die chip is considered damage by serious collectors and will actually lower the value. Also, if...

PCGS atrributes these, just make sure it's on the submission form. The value is just approximate, I'd put it at $300. ANACS is definately the #1...

1983 - Die det doubling, common 1972 - Definately a DDO, probably a minor one. Compare what you see to the copper coins website:...
I agree Lance, but like you said, the damage is done. Once you have pits like this, all you can do is try to arrest the process. VC definately...
Better pictures! MS-63RD.....it's a nice find!!

Looks like there was a hole in the 2x2 mylar. Personally, I consider black very bad on silver.
Not at all, VC is completely different across the board....it's dramatically improved. :)
