johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 05/14/2014 10:28 pm My supposedly good friend traded me this other defective penny... First the buffalo that was missing a leg, and now this? There are numbers and letters everywhere on top of each other, can hardly read it. Well at least now I have 6 cents to spend at taco bell instead of five. Before spending it though, I'd appreciate a grade. thanks. Edited by johnny54321 05/14/2014 10:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 05/14/2014 11:32 pm I am thinking AU details: cleaned. Some of devices and portrait kind of have a halo around it. Maybe it's the lighting but the slightly yellowish brown looks a little off to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Well the nerve. My offer to trade for a non-defective cent stands for this as well. This is my first time offering a guess (I do not even dare say opinion) on a Lincoln but I would guess XF details. Shame on him/her! Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 05/15/2014 9:01 pm Thanks for the grades. This coin graded problem free XF45. It does look like an AU, though I see the coloration issue that was mentioned. No hairlines or signs of polishing, but angled in the light it gives off some odd colors; so I think PCGS silently netted it for an old cleaning of sorts. I am really terrible at photographing copper in slabs, or I could do a better job of capturing the look of the coin at different angles. I still really like it though, and it has a bit of remaining luster hiding beneath blue iridescent areas in the most protected parts of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

burks Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 05/16/2014 12:05 am I think you should crack it out, photograph it, and then send it back in! Kidding aside. That's a nice looking XF45! Report this Post to the Staff
