The second 1 in the date is almost invisible to the naked eye. Can I ask a silly question? I thought a 1919 LWC was a copper cent through and through why does mine have a "shine" in places it looks almost like it was copper coated. Also, How do I stop or remove the black ick? Do I want to should I want to? How does this affect the value of a coin, it must diminish it. Report this Post to the Staff

No coating just bad lighting for pics. Sniff Sniff,, coin nostalgia..it get's to you once in a while and is welcomed with the Muses. Report this Post to the Staff
