If they were in plain site, I would have snagged them too.
I have four of this I found all together while searching a friends old change hoard. :smile Not really worth anything except to those that collect...
I think this is in the wrong forum section Jello. It should be in modern coins. I don't consider my Lincolns bullion. LOL
I suggest you buy and read the book Coin Chemistry. It will answer your questions and you'll become a more educated collector.
If anyone has a gold coin with such spots, I would enjoy testing it using our electron microscope with EDXRF. :)
Tough call, virtually hit free, I don't think they deducted much for the spots. Low luster may have dropped it to 63....I'll roll the dice.
64+, almost no hits....tough call. This one is going to depend on their mood that day.
I'm about to give up. These 66's and 67's are almost impossible to grade without seeing in hand. The deduction for the carbon spot wasn't much.
....then again, did you see my note on the scratch?
Man, off by 1 again! :headbang:
Very cool pictures of AT'd coins! Thanks for that!
Just aweful, it makes me sick to see that.
WOW! I just realized this post is from 2007. LOL
EASY! 1928 large S Lincoln. Completely ignored and unloved, yet a tough coin, especially in MS.
If there's one guy you can trust on the forum, it's RickieB. No worries here Marshall.
Nah, it's still a neat coin, it's worth a couple bucks to the right person as a novelty coin.
Indeed. People juice photos all the time and not just on toners. I can make any coin look completely different with just lighting and camera angle...
That is 100% die errosion and not PMD.
67 based on luster....it should only be a 66 with that obverse hit though.
Agreed!
