nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 2:59 pm Obverse color is good, reverse color is a bit off but I'm thinking that's lighting. I see fine lines behind Lincoln's head, North-South orientation in your closeup photos. Can't tell if those are cleaning hairlines on the coin or from die polishing. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 7:47 pm Absolutely original, probably mishandled a bit. Acetone soak might help, Verdi-care a possible further step. Edited by Coinfrog 02/27/2019 8:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15458 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 7:59 pm to the CCF. I say original surfaces and not cleaned example of our USA coinage history. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19961 Posts	Posted 02/28/2019 12:17 am Nice coin but the carbon spot on the reverse hurts, deep hit to the right obverse field, subdued obverse luster and various small light stains. MS-62. Just don't go messing with it, I see a nice, original patina and cartwheel spokes. Lincoln Cent Lover!
