<p>[QUOTE="XanthenX, post: 3150551, member: 97195"]Some time ago I found what appears to be a 1990 (P) Lincoln cent with proof like detail but that is impaired from circulation. Last night I found 2 other 1990 cents that caught my eye one having a matte like finish and the other possibly being a DDOR both with far less detail than the first I found and held on to. Literally every coin I have found from 1990 has been half as finely struck as this one or far less even when in AU or MS grades. My images are not very sharp due to lightning but should suffice, I pray.</p><p>Image two is the coin of uncertainty, third the suspected DDOR which I will likely post in full detail later, image one is the coin with the matte-like finish and some likely biological residue. I do not expect this to be a no S 1990 but had enough doubt to post these coins for review and comparison. Some believe that a proof coin is no longer a proof once circulated but this is simply untrue as the quality and number of strikes reaches far beyond a simple finishing technique in terms of the identity of a coin. Especially one damaged in circulation resulting in missing copper plating.
