<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 223550, member: 1242&quot;]I am sorry for waging in so late on this subject but here is what I see concerning the 1912-S Cent!&nbsp; IMHO there are a few minor scratches and a couple of Die Cracks but other than that, I can see no Post Mint damage and cannot make out any wear.&nbsp; What everyone is seeing as scratches, is in fact lamination striations that are and have been peeling off of the coin and are due to a severly flawed planchet.&nbsp; The Copper, Tin and Zinc composition did not get mixed well during the making of the planchet stock, thus the widespread (large and smaller patches) discoloration seen on the coin.&nbsp; If you noticed, the areas of the discoloration are the areas where the lamination striations (peeling) is most significant.&nbsp; If it were not for the discolorations and lamination striation peelings, then the coin would grade much higher than a MS-62!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
