Best I have seen so far is a free kitco app that shows live bullion prices.
Ms70'd all day..I am not saying its not pretty, but also not MA imo. This seems to be coming up a lot lately. People who are buying copper coins...
I am not familiar with the design on this particular piece, but it looks au 53ish to me.
Personally i prefer Dansco for copper. The coins look better in the tan pages as compared to Whitman's blue, or Littleton's green pages.
Wow read down and saw that you used 70 on that coin! I knew as soon as i saw the pics. That bluish tint is a dead giveaway. I agree with Charmy in...
Your cent would have to be red to begin with for it to turn pink from acetone conservation. My gut tells me this coin has been cleaned very gently...
I bet it is environmental damage....looks a little porous.
In my experience old churches can provide the best hunting areas. Just be sure to ask permission first. Spend a day at your local library doing...

One of my local BM dealers has a bunch of omaha bank hoard stuff in the "cheep slab" box. Mostly wheats, and a few rosies. Everything in that box...
Let me ask you this to the OP. Do you not like this coin because of PCGS opinion, or because of the way the coin looks in hand? Just because they...
Out of curiosity what was the price when issued?
I just got one of these that grandpa sent up with a relative who was coming to visit and it is a really nice set. Anybody else have one? The album...
That is a perfect dansco coin. Hard to tell if there is any luster from your pics. It does not look "heavily" toned and if there are hairlines...
I am gonna guess 65 on this one. If holdered NGC a definite 66.
I gave it a 65. I am assuming that spot on the obverse was not there when it slabbed. Branch mint cents from the 20's are known for weak strikes...
Looks like it has the wire rim, but the surface looks whizzed to me? Could just be the pics. Nice bunch of lincolns you have there!
If indeed it is tape residue a bath in pure acetone followed by distilled water rinse may do the trick. There is also a spot of pvc residue by the...
