MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 05/06/2017 01:45 am I went to a very small bank today and bought 10 rolls of cents. All of then are CWRs. Well the second one I opened was ALL LWC's. While nothing spectacular I did find this in there. My 1st true "Woody" Cent. Report this Post to the Staff

MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 05/06/2017 2:23 pm Thanks guys. I was excited to see this one. I have wanted one of these for a while. Love the way they look. Quote: what's up with the MM Not sure what you mean. Whole coin looks kinda like it was struck though grease. Devices fading all over it. Besides some verdigris I don't see anything on the MM, but hey I have been known to be wrong on such things. Here is a close up. See anything interesting? Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10047 Posts	Posted 05/06/2017 2:33 pm Maybe it just took a small hit. The middle section of the spine of the S appears very wide. I looked here: http://varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20...%201946S.htm And have to wonder if it could be an RPM-034 or RPM-035 just because they have a wider midsection also. I know its not a common thing to have lying around, but I use the point of a porcupine quill to "dig" out the dirt in MM loops to let me see if there is an RPM. I have found a couple hidden RPMs this way, The quills are so soft they do not scratch the coin, but rigid enough to last for quite awhile on many coins.

Will these work? I currently have this coin sitting in acetone to try to loosen the dirt up some. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10047 Posts	Posted 05/06/2017 4:41 pm Really? How unusual! Yes, I am blessed to be in an area that road kills show up every so often and I put on a pair of leather gloves and stock up. Its been awhile. A toothpick, I have heard, works. Be careful and test it on another old copper penny you do not mind messing up. I think I have heard of others using the thorn off of a rose. Rarely I have found my quill point making a scratch. But careful examination showed its not the quill. What happens in this case is a tiny speck of dirt that was already on the coin, unfortunately, was exactly where the point hit the coin and ends up being pushed on the surface to leave a scratch. I don;t know if maybe a toothbrush bristle might work also? Again, just try it first on a cent that you don't mind scratching to see if its safe first. This is a 1950 D/D that had the center of the MM totally filled, hiding the one underneath until I got the dirt out. I thought it was a D/S - hence the wrong label. WHen I posted before to CCF, I learned its a D/D. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
