<p>[QUOTE="Mike Thorne, post: 3791564, member: 56869"]I had an '84 doubled ear Lincoln that I found in my wife's change. It was certified with a grade of MS64 red. I finally decided to sell it many years later and found that almost no one wanted it that I offered it to at an ANA convention in Rosemont. While talking to one dealer, he told me about this plating problem and sure enough, my coin had some surface bubbles I hadn't noticed. I finally "gave it away" relative to its then wholesale price but was glad to get rid of it. Given how little I had in it (1c plus low certification costs), I still made a handsome profit off a coin that was coming apart![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
