Ok I have taken into acount everything that has been said about Mr Lincolns other visits to this forum.

I had this one at MS63+ ater reveiwing it I now put it at MS61
Some points about the coin
The motto is doubled in "Unum"
The left hand wheat stalk is Toned but the toning is a bright silver that I have never seen before and was not on the coin when I got it.
Mr Lincolns shoulder seems to have a case of road rash.
The strange silver toning is also present at the back of Mr Lincolns head.

This is not a high dollar coin by any means but it is pretty.
I paid $4 a couple of years ago anyone care to hazard a guess at its current value?

Has anyone ever seen silver toning on a copper coin before and if so any ideas where it came from?

Hi Nohope

The shoulder area looks more like a stuck thru grease or a problem with the die perhaps !I dont think it is post mint damage.

as for the silver color, the only time I have seen a wheatie turn silver colored is from heat, but in a limited area like that I have not seen such an anomoly before.

I think you are about right on the grade, the coin should have a realistic value of around 8 to ten bucks,,

The doubling on UNUM appears to be Strike Doubling dont ask me how it can occur in a limited area ! I just know it does.

Im more interested in what I see on the ICA of America !
This area has an interesting appearance in the pics.

Nice coin !!

Rick

I believe that you hit this one on head. There appears to be some pitting, but nicely struck and plenty of color.

As far as value goes, this one is a bit tough. In MS-63 CDN ask is $2.25

Thanks Metalman and ND the learning continues.
If I am around I may be brave enough to go to the Houston Money Show in Jan and add a couple of Lincolns to my collection.
