Let me first say, my lighting is really bright, this coin has defiinately not been cleaned....photo's can be VARY deceiving. I generally prefer...
I definately don't attribute this to cleaning. In hand this coin is full of luster and it cartwheels. Perhaps I'm naive, but every cleaning...
Ran across this coin today and decided to buy it. I've always summized this happens when the planchet mix is uneven. Anyone else have a different...

EF-40, I don't see anything that would cause it to net down, it's a pretty normal looking EF IMO. The wheat stalks have AU detail.
When I see those I call them stretch marks. The die pressure was insufficient to smooth the fields. I've seen this quite a few times on the S and...
I don't like this year/mint, but this one is better than the EF coin it's going to replace. Lots of obv die cracks, gives it a bit more character.
Well, I wanted/needed it for my collection and it's the best one I've seen in-hand....and the whole time I was looking at it this guy was asking...
Impluse buy today, worn dies and excessive spacing, a good example.
Tough date/mint, I was surprized I found one today! Kind of pressured to buy because another Lincoln collector that came after me wanted it...
Yes, the reaction is essentially finished unless there's free anionic materials still present. Of course the process can continue if there's free...
Picked this up today at a local coin show, let me know what you think.
Verdigris is composed of copper compounds of acetate, carbonate, sulfate and chloride. Pure water or moisture in of itself does not cause...
For sure, small date, great find! I found an MS-63 one a few months ago while roll searching, I also found a couple in EF brown.
Another 1926 I own, I bought this even though it has a finger print...the surfaces were just too original to ignore for me...I'm kind of a freak...
1926, this coin is unbelievable in hand, the camera does it no justice. The obverse blue toning and luster are specatular.
Snaz has it right. Lincolns are made from 95% copper and 5% zinc and tin planchets. The pure copper parts of the imperfect planchet mix tone and...
Outstanding Woody! :bigeyes:
Here's my 1925 and a 25D for discussion! :D
Before I read that I had the same thought, the D was an attempt to alter the coin. Nonetheless, the die cracks are cool. I have one with all 3...
