Picked up this 32 D Lincoln. Question about the third picture. Rims are nearly all black. Was this Lincoln "helped" back to red status?

Reverse has what looks like a scratch...funny thing about this scratch, believe it may be a planchet flaw, did not scratch the lettering.

Looks ok to me. Maybe rim was exposed to the air or paper roll if coin came from a stack. Seems to me if it were 'helped,' the edge would have been helped (cleaned or polished,) too. I'm sure more experienced replies will follow.

I think it looks fine as well. The longer a coin resides in a paper roll, the darker the rims get. The obverse and reverse of the coin are normally unaffected by this "toning". You have a nice looking coin.

Also, I agree there may be a planchet flaw on the reverse. It may be a delamination error. The nice people in Modern Error/Variety Forum should be able to identify the specific issue, but they will want close up pics. Good luck.

People hold coins' rims sometimes with bare fingers.
