A non PVC flip, the consensus is the ink on the paper insert was the most likely culprit.
AU55
I am not sure brand wise. They were from some foriegn coins I bought years ago.
Just adding an update to the coin. You were 100% correct. The coin has not moved since I last posted the coin has only gotten darker. [ATTACH]...
I am not sure if I have posted these before. When I got them years ago they were untoned. I put them in some paper holders and just found them....
Looks close to this one. Not sure because the obverse was polished away. http://www.maddieclashes.com/tdc-1c-1985-01/
Below the memorial is Lincoln's forehead and back of neck, chin and shoulders inside the pillars, their is evidence above the memorial but it is...

I know you didn't and I can see how you thought that I pointed the statement towards you. I thoroughly agree that this should never see a slider...

Both eyes are circulation damage not errors.
Nathan your point is not coming thru. Please explain how a 2007 has anything to do with a 2010.
No, the coin is well circulated. Not overstruck. You are seeing what is called perodolia.
Way too much luster gone on the high points and open fields to be a slider. AU55.
It's a doubled die. Not double struck. What does the other side look like? Sure would be nice to have cropped clear photos of both sides.
What did it grade?
I see some damage ie scratches.
Die deterioration doubling and a die crack. NAD No added value.
Anacs has tightened their grading. Alot of there coins are being crossed to pcgs and ngc.
