I'm having some posting these. Could go all night but I'll leave some room for the others and leave some for another night. Love this broad strike, not that radical of a broad strike but hey, it's something to show and talk about.

Nice!

Get that into an Air-Tite (that will fit) quickly. The split plating could create havoc with environmental exposure.

I don't mean to say it's a matter of minutes or hours but, eventually the exposed zinc will corrode. Maybe a nickel-sized capsule will work.

I think a nicke sized would probably work. In extreme cases, a quarter sized one would definitely work.

That coin is a beauty! Even if the broadstrike is not so major, it looks awesome and is uncirculated!

Nice Lincoln Cent. If it is too tall for a plastic air-tite, then use a cardboard 2X2 then get a Bigger sized flip and put the 2X2 in it.

no it was given to me as a gift along with a lot of off strikes, Cuds, blank plantchets, a waffle coins on another coin forum. I wish I could find something like this in the wild. I've had tons of nice gifts from that website. But I agree, this coin is a very nice coin, and I am very happy to own it.
