tfred Pillar of the Community Canada 627 Posts	Posted 12/02/2021 4:29 pm I found a BEAUTIFUL sharp high MS NFLD 1938 cent. However, as you can see from the pictures, it looks like some one tried to clean this with a chemical and now has nasty chemical streaks. Any suggestions? Report this Post to the Staff

The one below is in 66RB holder. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson Award Winner, & 2022 Paul Fiocca Award Winner. Life Member of RCNA.

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5400 Posts	Posted 12/02/2021 5:07 pm You are talking about a 1938 and showing a 1940 . I am with Bosox on the 1940 . Streaky pattern is often found on High grade examples . Not sure that pictured coin is cleaned . Report this Post to the Staff
tfred Pillar of the Community Canada 627 Posts	Posted 12/02/2021 6:38 pm Yes, my mistake. It is indeed a 1940. I certainly hope it is natural "wood grain", but it just doesn't look normal to me. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10459 Posts	Posted 12/04/2021 5:09 pm Welcome back to CCF tfred. Not so sure about your coin being messed with. As bosox mentioned, streaks are common with that year.
