I found this cent from coin roll hunting. It is a 1992 d LMC. Was wondering if possibly this could one of those 1992 d Close AM LMC? Letting the experts check this out. *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***    |

Excellent find! Wonder if an acetone dip would remove all the blue/green gunk?

to the CCF This is indeed the elusive CAM for that date/mint. Nice find! It has some numismatic value despite all that corrosion. Now you need to take some positive steps to stop all the ongoing corrosion. This is not the same as cleaning the coin. Do not clean the coin! The coin needs to be conserved by someone who knows what they are doing. You can make a start yourself with acetone and Verdi-Care if you have the knowledge and confidence to do so. Otherwise find someone who can do it for you.

That gets treated with Verdi-Care or other suitable chemical stabilizers. The coin can be saved and made to look much better and made stable - it just takes knowledge and care to do so properly. There are likely a few hundred CCF folks who could do it.

Very cool find! I've always figured that if I do luck up and find one, it will look about like this.  -makecents-

yep, this is a CAM, in not so good of condition. I wonder if Verdi-care can help this one out. What a great find! congrats on a high value coin. Edited by Dearborn

to the CCF I'm going to go against the grain here. This is a WAM. Look at the FG, it's close to the memorial= WAM. Zinc rot closes the gape between A and M making it look like a CAM. And I might be wrong, but CAMs are only on Philly coins.

In sTATes the A is not centered it is closer to the second T, a sign of being a CAM. |

Here are side by sides of the RDV-006 and RDV-007 dies to compare with.  The condition of the coin will affect the value of the coin. |
