First post here other than the where ya from introduction. I know that this isn't some kind of crazy valuable coin. If I understand correctly this thread is for grading practice, so I wouldn't think the value of a coin would be pertinent. Honestly, this is my first post of a coin too. I am just as much interested in what you think of the quality of the picture as of the grade of the coin.   |

This is considered to be a little bit above average for a coin minted in the 1940's

Photo quality is excellent . Coin is AU-58 but I'm wondering about all the whiteish spots on reverse .Did you try to clean this coin in any way ? Obverse also looks like it was wizzed .  |

I will check out VarietyVista.com. Thank you for the suggestion.
As for the white spots. I haven't cleaned the coin other than wiping it down with a lint free cloth. I removed the coin from a standard cardboard 2x2 that the coin had been in for decades. I wanted to put the coin in a HE Harris Snap Lock, which ironically is worth just as much as the coin, but the coin was just too "pretty" for a cardboard 2x2. Without magnification the white spots really just look like a fingerprint. Would you think there is any chance the plastic window from the 1980's 2x2 had started to break down, flake, whatever, and transferred to the coin?

Looks like a nice coin, I can see the cartwheel spokes. There's hardly a hit on it but the spots hold it back.

 with T-Bop. You can see parallel lines faintly across President Lincoln's effigy. Quote:
