    So, I bought this one raw, sometimes I hate the lighting in the coin shops. if I was to light this photo directly down it would have a proof like appearance. It has a lot of reflectivity. The color is what made me buy it. I also had an open spot in my album.
    What are your thoughts on my purchase?
    I will not state any of my skepticism,
    I am hoping that I can chalk this one up to new dies and a proof like appearance. Thanks in advance for your input. 41s linc obv.jpg 41s linc rev2.jpg

    Your coin is a polished AU. It's pretty though. :oops: IMO.

    Looks like it's been dipped/cleaned, and is tarnished. Honestly, this is the kind of coin you want to avoid. Sorry. :dead:

    I did only buy it at a AU 50 price.
    I took a chance on it being a DDO, thought I saw some fat letters.
    It has even more toning in hand.

    I think it's cleaned, like others have said. I also think it's the Large S variety, so double shame for whoever polished it.
