I go with a harshly cleaned, wire brushed, die. So, die “polishing”. Except they ought to have actually polished the die a bit after they wire...
I am not feeling better. You acted like a jerk and attacked a fellow forum member. Now you just acted like a jerk again. Apologize or leave.
Your response is so off the rails that you should apologize to the entire forum. All I see in the Atlantic’s article is a nicely written article...
The green around the edges was obvious and it is easy to see it is gone. It takes a moment to realize that the entire surface was covered by a...
Thanks, Bob. I wish I could have afforded the 1916 Proof from the original post. That would be a jewel in anyone’s collection. The coins I got...
Bob, I have the utmost respect for your coins, so I am flattered to be asked about mine. To keep from hijacking the thread much further, here we...
If your comment is to me, the answer is no. I have them in a beautiful Intercept Shield album I got from Wizard Coin Supply. I like the...
These are the coins I got from this dealer. I used to be snagging them as bargains, but it seems folks have caught on. I got most of them raw, so...
PF66 BR - but I find this to be the perfect Lincoln cent.
I’m not making a joke, but you will end up with the same verdigris, but it will be cleaner. This might actually be of use before applying...
Good information. I should have said “earlier” because I was trying to indicated a relative timing, not an absolute time during the year. The...
I forgot about this one. Only 912 of these proofs were made. [ATTACH]
Then we can deduce this sequence, using my three cents. Early in the year the SVDB was produced using four obverse dies and an unknown number of...
19th century and early 20th century proofs seem to be cheaper than I would expect given their low mintages and over a century of attrition. I...
Maybe somebody released it back to the wild just so you could find it again!
It does seem odd that any VDB cent, struck only at the beginning of the year, could be paired with a “sharp N” reverse, which would not have...
I really like these early Lincolns! [ATTACH]
New acquisition. I keep looking for the right 1918 but I can't seem to get just the right one. This one can go in the album because the glossy...
It’s so cold here today that Lincoln can see his breath. [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Ideally there would be a pile of Roman coins in front of the badger.
