The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1390 Posts	Posted 07/23/2017 9:15 pm Almost exactly five years ago, I posted this thread about finding a 1983 DDR Lincoln Memorial cent in a coin roll. A few months after that, I updated the thread to say that I had somehow lost the coin, which was at the time (and still is) my best ever CRH find. Now, I'm thrilled to say that I have found the coin after half a decade of fruitless searching. It was on a shelf in my room that I rarely mess with, and the few times that I did so since losing the coin, I guess I never looked too closely at it. I should have new pics of the cent up in this thread soon, as I'd like to seek opinions on how to stabilize the verdigris/environmental damage that is slowly spreading across the obverse. But I'm just psyched that I found it, as I'd long since given up hope. Edited by The Silver Searcher 07/23/2017 9:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
