That doesn't look like circulation wear to me. Looks like rapid abrasion -- like someone stuck it on a sander or something.

If normal wear, AG-3. If not, I'd need to see the back, but would probably call it F-12 detail, abrasion damage.

 

Yea has to be sanded, under a microscope there are not any real obvious striations, but a fine enough grit probably wouldn't show strongly. The reverse is just as nice as the obverse. LOL

It measures about 4 mm thick, a normal wear 1979 is about 6 mm.

This is a good one for the PGGS (Penny Guy Grading Service) with a high enough fee this could go XF45.

 

Put it in the junk box quickly!

 

That poor thang....... Lord knows what its' been through.

 

fail lol

 

Looks like it's been a LOOOOOOOOOONG 31 years for that Lincoln cent.

 

Looks like it came out of the garbage disposal!!

 

lol

 

It looks like it has been through someone's digestive tract. It does have character though. TC

 

I vote for a good luck charm on the poker table. It could be worth millions at the final table of the world series of poker.

 

boooo, hissss. I was hoping we were going to see something extraordinary. I give it a FR-2

 

LOL at these comments. Just for fun, this is what real circulation wear looks like.

 

Dermabrasion. Has it been to a very overzealous plastic surgeon?

 

If it has than that's an example of a plastic surgeon you want to avoid....

 

I give it a MU30 at best.
