<p>[QUOTE="Evan8, post: 3979415, member: 74343"]Early Lincoln Wheat Cents often tend to show grainy surfaces. These are early die strikes as the dies were sand blasted which shows on the first bunch of coins struck by new dies. This also can cause confusion between matte proof strikes and high grade business strikes. Im not a fan of that color on the OP's coin so it may have been cleaned at some point as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
