Haven't had time to get a shot of it yet. When it was purchased it was in a flip (apparently since not long after minting). The coin is perfect except for color. The flip was labeled 1969 S Lt Cameo Proof, "w/o coating". I wasn't aware of any coatong on these. The color is the same as a Sacagawea. Any insight on this one? Thanks... DC..
Is it possible that the "coating" refers to the removed mint film? That is the only thing I could think it might mean. Of course if it was in an older PVC flexible flip ( most common in 70s), maybe the coating was a PVC film that was removed, leaving a different color? all just supposition.
I have received many 60's Lincoln cents with bright coloring, even recently. Just this week I got a 64-D and a 69-d that looked like they were minted last week. I keep swapping out coins from my books with these circulation pulls due to the brightness and coloring. While not quite golden, they are pretty close...
