So I have some great BU Lincoln Cent 1988 and 89 denver mints. I am noticing A LOT of ghosting (I thought I had foregin planchets at first, then realized most of them had these markings lol). Will this ghosting affect the grade if I send them to a grading service like PCGS? ide say about 2% of the BU 88/89 do not have these etched designs that I can really only see with a microscope. Does anyone know if that affects the grade? Btw thank you so far for everyone's contribution to qs, I feel lucky to have you guys and hope once I'm good at this I can help answer qs as well! :) Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/06/2019 8:01 pm Unless significant, it won't affect grade. But you probably have plating issues rather than ghosting. Photos would help us know. As mentioned, for those dates, the likelihood of finding one worth the cost of grading is infinitesimal. Report this Post to the Staff
