-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8866 Posts	Posted 06/09/2025 10:06 pm It's a zincoln with nice cracks and a clash trying to hide due to the mint workers. The 83's had nice clashing and cracks. Here is one of my favorite finds of a cracked up 83. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
