Plating bubbles? The zincs are junk.
I'll have to check my 28-S's. Thanks for posting the variety.
The 39's are very common. However, I went through mine and found 2 that had the 1938 reverse and those have a premium. IDK maybe yours is VF?...
Nothing but pennies recently and a chewed up dime the other day. So this was a pleasant surprise: [ATTACH]
Here is a 2 year old post from Condor 101 "There were two weight standards for the steel cent. The early ones were 2.689 grams, the ones later in...
Ozark Riverways. I'd want the complete set if I paid for it.

I believe even a worn slick SLQ wouldn't be off by a full gram. As for the most faked coins besides the 1700's Spanish 8 Reales, I am going to say...
The stars are a little wrinkly, but only those and the blue seals are keepers. I don't even see an almost on any of the others. All spenders....
It is an illegal coin and should be confiscated and destroyed. Here is why. It was not produced by the mint for circulation. (business strike) It...
