I'm not seeing any cleaning on this one. Luster is full. It may have been dipped.
Here is my 1903-S. I don't think it was salvage but I'm not sure how to tell. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
The edge should be relatively smooth. The roughness on the edge shows that the coin was rusted on the edge. Normally Steelies show a bit of rust...
Here are new photos I took of a couple of 1955-S Lincoln Cent RPM #1. I was trying to determine die state / stage on these so ended up shooting...
I guess my link was insufficient? I am assuming you just didn't see my response because otherwise I might be offended.

COC covers far more than just cuds. I've had several recent attributions on COC and I'm personally very pleased with the process. It's...
Is there another example of a DDR that is worth many thousands of dollars? If all it has going is the DDR, there were probably hundreds of...
You probably don't have much exposure flexibility with your USB scope. If you can, add some diffusion to the lights. That will spread out the...

My first Morgan, bought when I was in my early teens, was a 78-CC, and I still have it today. It's an XF and still raw. I'm curious...were your...
Indeed that might be good to do. Maybe I can try to rebalance things a bit. I changed my mood to reflect this hopeful message.
Yes, lots of folks willing to shoot you down, even one whose handle is "Let me burst your bubble". Very nice indeed, he must be proud of that....
True! I think this is the first thread I've been in with her. Good start.
Thanks for that explanation. Thanks for the support. I really just dropped in to offer an obvious DDO before I send it in for attribution along...
Well, they are not die chips, so he'd be wrong. It's the second most dramatic DDO of this type in the Lincoln series. Until today I did not have...
I have a bunch of them, but more an accumulation since I am not actively collecting. Picked up a nice 2nd edition at a library book sale a few...
