<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WriterIN, post: 1348051, member: 35620&quot;]I&#039;ve been reading posts on cointalk for a while now, and have found the questions and associated answers highly informational. I&#039;ve now accumulated a few weirdies, and could use some help figuring them out. This one&#039;s pretty easy, though. It is or it ain&#039;t. I found this coin while searching a roll of contemporary pennies. I think it&#039;s 1998 Wide AM, but I&#039;m not sure. It&#039;s definitely wider than common 1998&#039;s, but it seems to me that it&#039;s not quite as wide as others. It&#039;s .17 mm between the bases, btw. As you can see, the coin&#039;s not in the best of condition, with little black dots all over the reverse and a few on the front. Can those be removed without damaging the value of the coin?</p><p>[ATTACH]156010.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]156011.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]156009.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>Any assistance offered will be greatly appreciated. I have a few other oddities I&#039;m curious about, but I&#039;ll post them in separate threads. Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
