If you look in the third picture you can probably see the split serifs from the tilted RPM. Acetone or water is a good idea.
I am going to go with VF25!
That is incredible! At least you got a good deal and she got twice what she was hoping for.
Really nice RPM! Congrats! At least the stain adds a little more "character" to the coin.
I agree. The bright, untarnished copper beneath is a sign that this occurred more recently, or else it would be the same color as the rest of the...
Aside from the already mentioned fact that it is difficult to tell from those dark NGC slab photos, I wonder if any sort of die polishing might...

Yes post mint damage. This is one I would throw in my little box of fun PMD. Believe it or not I do keep some of the particularly interesting or...
I have not ever seen these before. Thanks everyone for posting and teaching me a little something. I really love the horse design on the reverse....
This is a really cool piece! It sure looks like it has exceptional paper quality as noted by the graders. I really like the color of it. Not too...
PCGS / NGC "Full Color."
On the occasion, I will pick up certain foreign coins I like, and if they're from my birth year it adds a fun, bonus to the piece. P.S. that cent...
Interesting. They do look like die polishing lines to me, I would assume they were to remove clashes in that area. Apparently this is indicative...
That's a really cool idea. Love the coin. Are you just trying to get one example of each coin type?
