Very nice! These usually have black spots.
Thanks Dick!
The bag of steel cents is FUNNY! About like the pet rock. LOL Hey, at least you can wear the bracelet!
I've already put a lot of thought into it. Here's my educated guesses: - Chemicals, they have a full lab stocked with everything you can...
Well-struck 12D! Depending on their mood that day, they could have AU-58'd the coin.
Now that's one edited 1912-D! You suck award here....yes, you suck. My 1912-D is a crappy F-12 because I cannot find a sharp one of these in RB...
Nice coin! These are tough. Early Denver issues can be deceiving due to poor strikes. With the exception of the 1916-D, this holds true up to...
YAY! Finally guessed right. Hate to hear you're slowing down Dick. Even though I do get frustrated, I enjoy the challenge. I appreciate your...

Nice, but I have to admit the obverse fingerprint bothers me.
Alright, sucker me in....these 66/67's are teeing me off man. Just too tough without seeing it in hand.
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?
Separate names with a comma.
