Tell ya what Dru - you want to disprove what I'm saying, fine. Take a bunch of Lincoln cents or IHC's and coat them with oil. Then take them to a...
You should look again Mike, what you can see in the first first link you posted is no where near like what you see on Joe's coin. And after...
Definitely a planchet flaw as indicated by the striking weakness in the area.
Mean no disrespect, but I would grade that no better than a 63. The coin has been badly mishandled by somebody.

Kinda chilly - bit of snow, but all in all not bad.
Tell ya what - you can drink Coke right ? Well put a copper coin in a glass of it for a few days and watch what happens. You won't even find the...
Boss - I could care less what the chemistry is. The bottom line is that the majority of the collectors in the world would consider any coin with...
All great coins Greg but I love the Swiss double taler - killer dragon design ! :thumb:
