Thanks for the clarification. I went back and modified my post above.
Another thread that I read yesterday has some pictures of coins with rim burrs. The planchet itself might have a rough edge from being punched out...
I’m still stuck back at the beginning. Why would you even want to clean this? It’s really worn, so it’s not going to look like anything other...
Here’s my two cents worth… [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The red one is developing some silver toning on the cheek so it looks like wear, but the same...
I got three coins in my Dec. 31 order. The 52-D and 55-D have already been shown. The third coin was listed as a Choice 1954-S. I thought it might...
I saw a listing for a 1952-D in Choice condition, so I thought I would see if it was better than this one in my set. It is well struck and...

Darn! I just saw this thread, and it’s already finished! Good job everyone.
I’d feel like my MS66 5FS is just as close a guess as MS67 with no FS. That is, close but wrong!
Coin 5 of 5 - 1944-D Lincoln I was hoping to upgrade this cent because of the spots - above the head and on the reverse. The luster is good and...
Coin 4 of 5 - 1944-S Lincoln This is the coin I wanted to upgrade. It was dull with some spotting. The color is actually a nice red and there is...
Not eBay. These three cents are from Dave’s Collectible Coins. If the listing says Choice or Gem, in my experience they are conservatively graded....
Coin 3 of 5 - 1957 D Lincoln This is the coin I wanted to upgrade. It is actually a terrific coin, but I was hoping for something with fewer die...
