hogskins2win Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 06/27/2012 9:42 pm I finally got lucky again, its been a long dry spell! My humble guess is its a AU but is it a AU58? Report this Post to the Staff

GRR Valued Member United States 310 Posts	Posted 06/27/2012 9:52 pm Looks AU to me. Maybe 58, I'd definitely go in the 53-55 range little bit of chatter and dirt. looks nicer than the one I found this week. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19961 Posts	Posted 06/27/2012 11:18 pm The color is off. I think your lights are cutting through the patina. Is that how it looks in hand? If that's how it looks, AU details, cleaned. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Edited by BadThad 06/27/2012 11:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36782 Posts	Posted 06/27/2012 11:57 pm It's an AU but not sure about the surface with the lighting you used in the photo. Can you try shooting it again with different lighting? Report this Post to the Staff

hogskins2win Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 09:37 am Just a quick note (while I'm at work), Cleaned was my impression also. Truth be told..... I bought this on e-bay as 09VDB ( DDO not noted) for 14 bucks. The photos provided were seller's photos on e-bay. The darkness around "In God We Trust" indicates cleaning. When I get home I will try to get some better pictures and/ or attempt to link e-bay sales. Thanks for all your inputs, I truly appreciate the culture! Report this Post to the Staff
jdbooth Valued Member United States 236 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 6:07 pm I would say AU58BN with slight abrasions to the cheek. It looks like most of its luster is present as far as can be seen from a photo. The lighting is probably washing out the natural toning of the coin. Probably lightly washed with acetone.
