It can probably be refinished OK, but perhaps just a good cleaning & polish; I would start there. Why did you put a dollar bill in the picture? :D
Paddy, you could have posted one at midnight last night & it would still be overdue! You amaze me with your finds. Do you ever go further down...
Q, not at all. If you actually understood my post, you would have understood that I already own several of these, graded, & I have looked at...
Randy, I hear you, sometimes it's difficult to fathom what we see going on. But, (there's always a butt, but not always a but :smuggrin:) coin...
@Eduard, thanks for the back story, sounds good. It's most likely considerably more valuable now than when you bought it. I still don't see it as...
You're pics are great! Now, I normally do not attempt to grade anything by pic alone - I only like to express an opinion when I have the coin in...

Well, it's still worth $20, but it's my age, so it's not really that old...:D. I am intrigued by the folds, rather unusual, as if it was an...
But Randy, don't you have a brand new "surrogate" buyer who can act on your behalf? I would enlist her services...:D...she can't be blamed for...
@Curtis, fabulous capture & write up! Stories like this are what keep the juices flowing in most collectors, thank you for that! :singing:;)

Not going to guess, but I love these guys, & this is a really fine specimen. Thanks for posting it! :):singing:
Nah, let's just call it a badly worn Lincoln cent & be done with it! :D:joyful::joyful::joyful::jawdrop:;)
@Nann, this post is an excellent example of what most of us have been through at one time or another: we see something that just doesn't make...
