Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 10/03/2017 06:33 am This is one of those love it or hate it coins. I'm not doing this because I made an educated guess. I kind of did, in my opinion Ha! I am doing this because there are one MAYBE two reasons that I think this bucket bin sad looking coin needs a makeover. I suppose it's like playing a Lotto scratcher...That takes considerably longer to play. Now I'm sure most will laugh when I say this Lincoln is a 1969. I assume from San Fran Mint but the tiny bulge is buried in debris. Sounding more ridiculous now right?! The dirt/dust is over much of the coin and my loose theory is that it is hiding the essentials that make up THE DDO. I placed arrows where I think doubling continues. I have located die markers for the reverse which I know is not everything to count on. Anyway, it's silly but I think fun. Report this Post to the Staff

Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 10/03/2017 09:16 am Patience is something I'm good with...or is it subborness? Either way I don't plan on devoting too much of my time with this task. Ive had some good finds being curious and that is all this is. I found a nice coin along with this one and a few others and wanted to dot my I's and cross the T's. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/03/2017 1:08 pm The spots are sneeze droplets. Some damage on some of the fields and devices from circulation. The white stuff? Something that was not on the coin when it left the mint. Spender/toss into copper melt bucket. Report this Post to the Staff

In its current state and with the pics I posted I don't expect any high fives haha! Just felt like updating. Things could change I understand. Report this Post to the Staff
Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 10/11/2017 01:54 am After this, I'll wait until the debris is off to post pics but I feel fairly certain this coin will have doublingx3 on hopefully everything. Report this Post to the Staff
