The mint mark is usually very prominent. Even on old well circulated coins the MM is legible. Your small date is 100% Philly.
Acid will chew off that weight. If the coin was brand new looking and weighed 2.7 it would be below tolerance. A possible thinly rolled planchet....
If those are cleaning scratches I am at $20.
I don't think it's even a question. LD on the OP. The 9 is no good and the angle is making the 7 appear higher. Also a possible hit on the date.
The frozen tundra made this hunt a challenge. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The 7 is not high enough and the 9 doesn't curl around far enough. [ATTACH]
The 5 gold rings are in the upper right. And everything else is silver. Even though some of the silver looks gold, and one of the gold is not gold...
Updated silver and gold swag.[ATTACH]
Yes that's true I forgot to mention that. If the lettering in MONTICELLO on the reverse shows prominent doubling. Then it's a good coin. (I don't...
Lincoln Cent Resource doesn't list any DDR for 1952, however, Wexler's does list two DD's for 1952, but both are obverse DD's. Unless you have a...

The 60-D SD/LD is quite rare, and you are able to see both types of dates. On the OP coin all I see is the small date, and slight doubling (RPM?)...
Combined with the thin planchet possibility, there is a great deal of wear from 80 years of circulation which could have taken a little weight...
The NIFC's are lower mintage so people save them. However, because they don't circulate the survival rate is always going to be close to 100%....
Very good photos.
You can't curse here, and it takes much longer than that to get a coin back. It was no where close to being 67 even if it was real which is...
Pay phones took them, parking meters took them, and vending machines. When things cost a dime, and the metal just needed to be the correct size....
Looks pretty nice. It's not much over melt. It's a win/win.
That's a good one. Nice error. Nice condition too.
The inside is copper. The outside on the obverse and reverse is an alloy of copper and nickel. The nickel is what gives it the whiter appearance....
