<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 598392, member: 15199&quot;]Here is one of the rejected coins. The first photo is the whole coin ( look at the field in front of Lincoln&#039;s face. the second is at about 8X, the last is that area at 25X.&nbsp; I have looked carefully and I really think it is from the die. I don&#039;t see the shiney, v-shaped,&nbsp; copper lines that I usually see from a cleaned Lincoln. I can however see where it would be tough to tell without&nbsp; a lot of magnification. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1960d-clean.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1960d-clean2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1960d-clean3-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The area like in photo 1 is the same on several other coins, the lines vary a little from faint to light ( maybe due to strike, and wear) but I can&#039;t imagine that someone cleaned only that area in several coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have another lot I will send to PCGS, maybe slip this one in just to see what they say.:smile</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
