By the way, I'm no expert on grading, but I wonder about the apparent areas of burnishing on Lincoln's forehead and cheekbone--could that be enough to knock this down from mint state? Or maybe that is just from the lighting on your pic--I'm not sure.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 2:18 pm On the mint mark, it is showing metal striation lines. So the date maybe affect with Machine Doubling. (the angle/lighting the image was taken shows that) Report this Post to the Staff

radatat Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 3:19 pm tks, in 8 rolls I found this and a 1918. While not rare, it is so neat to find a coin that old still in circulation. Cool Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/11/2018 08:44 am Nice AU coin . Just a tip , when taking very close up pics of a coin try to get it in focus so the area of the coin is not so blurry . Maybe your lighting is off or your taking a shot too close to the coin .

It gets struck at the mint, sent to the Fed and then a bank, to a business, someone gets it is change and throws it in a jar. Then it sits in the jar for 49+ years. Then it got taken to the bank, rolled, any you got it. You could very well be the second person to have received it. Report this Post to the Staff
