Greetings everybody looked at some post on lamentation issues on Lincoln cents I was wondering if this 1974 Lincoln cent is indeed lamentation issues and if they have any value thank you
Looks like it got inked pretty bad.I'm not seeing any signs of a lamination whatsoever put it in with the rest of the change.Yes lamination can add value most are just a few bucks or less but there are those amazing examples that are truly priceless.
Some type of cleaner got on it. The lighter color areas on the coin is where the cleaner was. The darker color areas on the coin is where no cleaner got on it.
That was some first class detective work. The pink hue gives away that the old cent was cleaned but I couldn't put the other pieces of the puzzle together. Well done.
Ok now i get it lol I'm not supposed to be on my phone(quick looks being sneaky) but this teacher is so boring.
Ketchup will clean to a pink but the corrosion is yet another form of environmental damage. Either way the coin is a spender…imo…Spark
Is it the vinegar in the ketchup that causes the copper to clean and turn pink in color? All I know about ketchup is it's possibly one of the best inventions to those of us who've served in the US armed forces. One major determining factors if chow is good or not is if we had ketchup to go with it. Only exception is when they served liver. Nothing can fix that, except maybe a lot of salt and tabasco sauce.
That coin is damaged. Something was put on the surface to get that look. Not even close to a lamination issue.
Yes, it is "lamentation" issue. lamentation | ˌlamənˈtāSH(ə)n | noun the passionate expression of grief or sorrow; weeping: scenes of lamentation. • (Lamentations or Lamentations of Jeremiah) a book of the Bible telling of the desolation of Judah after the fall of Jerusalem in 586 bc. Not being rude, just pointing out how I feel about the Zincoln cents. They are really sad indeed. Welcome to CT BTW.
Yes, but that penny isn't a zincoln cent. It's a genuine US penny through and through, granted, the first year classic cars are not smog exempt in Ca...but....
Yep. I screwed up and didn't check the date after writing my post. Bad on me, as they say, or used to. LOL
Yes, plus tomato and salt along with white vinegar makes ketchup a moderately acidic substance. It is the acid content that turns copper pink. In the Marines, we ate everything, including overcooked liver. If you were out on bivouac, it was C-rations. If the liver was too overcooked, we fixed our boots with it…that only worked a short amount of time but it got you through the rough spot…Spark
Curious, in what way does overcooked liver fix boots? The very first meal I got when reporting to my very first duty station overseas was a choice between liver & onions or meatloaf. Meatloaf was literally swimming in about 1 inch of reddish grease/oil, which I've never seen with meatloaf before. I chose the meatloaf simply because I absolutely do not like liver. The bug juice was at room temperature with a cloud of gnats buzzing directly over the dispenser, thus where it gets it's name I guess. Mind you, this is on base in Japan (August) and it was hot and humid, over a hundred degrees outside. Took one bite of the meatloaf and discovered it was made from ground liver. I was still green behind the ears so I hadn't discovered the important use of ketchup with chow yet at that time. Needless to say, I didn't eat chow that day.
We had a guy lose a heel from his boot. The route marching through Camp Pendleton had 400 Marines in 4 platoons (a Company), and the heel nails started poking through. We further dessicated a piece of leather-like over-cooked liver, cut a pad for his heel inside. He was able to finish the overnight bivouac and route-marching…Spark
