Still a little out of focus but I think you have one. The condition of your coin looks good too! I hope I’m right; with coin in hand I’m sure you...
They surely help lock the find in!!
Your photos are just a bit out of focus or a bit too far to see the markers. But it looks very promising. That is one of my particular RPM...
Can you find the markers? http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1987&die_id=1987d1mm003&die_state=mds
Same here. Using my bottle of Verdi-care sparingly (conserving that too!).
https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1938-5c/4175 Note the reverse on this doesn't have the squared rim...there's hope!!
I don't think so, but a nice looking coin just the same. Front kind of has the squared rim, but the reverse looks business strike. Perhaps just...

Was the battery good? ;-)
Let’s remember that any of us can have a bad day, but hopefully not to the extent where we castigate a new member. And if we do, a PM to let them...

My advice is not to think of collecting as a race or competition. Pace yourself especially in the early stages. You want to have a feel and...
This cent had a rough life spending some of it in a automobile drink holder. Plenty of stains, damage, and hydrozincite. It's on a faster track...
