coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/13/2007 4:58 pm what does the reverse show? Any doubling on any letters? Interesting that only the first three digits are affected and not the last one?. Does the bottom or the top of the L in LIBERTY show any doubling? (Above or below the L?)

Nelrak Pillar of the Community United States 974 Posts	Posted 11/14/2007 12:07 am Thanks Guys! I went and bought the Vol. 1 Cherrypickers, so now I can quantify my perception before bringing these things forward. I see that the doubling is on the east side of the date and very distinct. Either way, it's still a nice looking cent for $4. ADDED 11/18: It sure looks different with the Olive Oil removed, check out the hidden toning! Coop: Nothing out of the ordinary. The L is clean. Interesting point about the last digit seems like it would look the same. For what it's worth I think Machine Doubling is COOL! (only because that's all I find hehehe) Edited by Nelrak 11/19/2007 12:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 11/14/2007 12:53 am Unless it's the picture, it seems to have been oiled or laquered. Any thoughts? Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

docsfishn Pillar of the Community United States 1031 Posts	Posted 11/14/2007 9:43 pm I'm not sure if it's been cleaned, however Popeye brings up some memories. Wimpy -- "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!" Edited by docsfishn 11/14/2007 9:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/15/2007 12:23 am Could be ejection doubling. But still a nice coin for a collection. Report this Post to the Staff
Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 11/15/2007 08:57 am It was definitely cleaned in olive oil. Put it in some acetone to get rid of the shinyness or just leave it alone. Report this Post to the Staff

Put it in some acetone to get rid of the shinyness or just leave it alone. So it's just that easy? I'll think about it... quote: is 1909 year the only Lincolns you collect? Do you have some you want to get rid of, if so I am buying? Actually, since I traded GaryLCSr all my wheaties months back...I figure I need to pick up some...so far 09 has been my kick I have been on. I also pick up 31-S and the small dates when I can find decent ones. I am also keeping all my copper I have found that is in XF or better from doing the Coin Project. Report this Post to the Staff
