That's a new one on me. Where'd you get it?
That's what made me suggest that it looks like a circular scratch, made by a rolling machine, and the coin was on the end of the roll. The middle...
Looks like a circular scratch made by a rolling machine, Doug. But you're right. We are only looking at a picture, and not the actual coin....
It's a good one to complete a set with. BTW, the MM is OK, isn't it? It looks a little bit "too" good in the picture. :confused:
Well, not exactly. It's 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. By all means, please do post a picture, and just for your protection, posting your...
Interesting coin, and great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, I've seen lots of them that resemble that. Do you remember if that one was on the end of the roll?

Welcome, Ryan. I didn't start by collecting pocket change, because in those days I didn't have any. Some generous people were kind enough to...
That's never stopped me from posting. [IMG] But seriously, JD. The coin wasn't originally issued with the hole. Someone did that later. Is...
I've never seen a coin shop, so no bad experiences.
I don't believe the coin would be considered uncirculated even without the scratches. There seems to be a flat spot on the hair above the brow,...
I'd say the value of something handed down to you from your grandmother would be priceless. On the other hand, you could probably sell it for...
But, not so much fun counting and wrapping them up again, is it? :p
I'd probably put one in a 2x2 for my collection, then give some away to new collectors who are interested in the Lincoln Memorial series, then...
