nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 03/03/2019 5:40 pm Wow, no cleaning, I'm happily surprised. Are the light color lines the common "wood grain" of the period? Report this Post to the Staff

Keep in mind, this is a VERY old coin that lived a long life in circulation. It's going to get washed in pockets, dropped into puddles and tossed around. A few, odd anomalies are normal and acceptable until they cross a hard to define line into the cleaned zone. Personally, my tolerance is quite high for that threshold when I see a very original looking coin like that. The black gunk in the devices and dirt tells a story. Lincoln Cent Lover!

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18725 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 1:29 pm I don't think it was cleaned but the abrasions do appear to be from PMD maybe the coin sliding along the ground as if someone or something stepped on it, I don't know. VG8 details Report this Post to the Staff
