Are you saying the corrosive process will be sustained even if the coin is placed in a vacuum?
Embarrassing ain't it. Just don't know if authenticating a coin such as this would even cross my mind. Now if the coin was struck during the...
Really don't know if I would have looked at the reverse that hard.
Maybe nit-picking but I have always considered this variety technically to be a doubled die - not a Repunched Date. For the Buffalo Nickel the...

Still each new discovery is issued a sequential catalog number of which for the 1960-D Cent John has reached at least WRPM #269. It could actually...
Actually I must have underestimated cause here is a link to Wexler's website providing images for Lincoln Cent 1960-D WRPM-268 and WRPM-269....
