Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 12:55 pm Hello to all. I've never really been a 'looker' for the newer Shield Cent varieties unless one just jumps out at me. This morning this one JUMPED OUT AT ME.... Based on Coppercoins data base I believe this is DD0-011. The only thing I'm not seeing as a marker is the die crack in the area of Linc's forehead and near the eyebrow. The coin is pretty dirty but has been polished in a NE fashion which is still consistent with this variety best I can tell. Not a bad example of a Class 9 doubled die I thought. Unfortunate on the amount of PMD and the hit it took on the date but still more than enough detail an notching can be seen. Also looks like something is going on with the R and U. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers...... Thanks for looking. Edited by Scuba1 02/09/2021 12:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 1:27 pm Thanks levelsofmadnes, I completely see that I messed that one up on my listing. Coppercoins has it on their website as 2019P-1DO-010. I inadvertently just used the Wexler's example of 011 listed next to the Coppercoin listing. Thanks for the correction and bringing that up!

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 2:23 pm Im like you with shields If it dont jump out after a quick look over, toss it. Worst coins ever made right there. I bought a box of these when this coin was discovered and stopped after 10 rolls and sold the rest. Nice find. Might try some acetone to clean up that reverse a little Edited by Kloccwork419 02/09/2021 2:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 8:04 pm Thanks for the replies. Just got home and threw it in some acetone. I have also experimented with mouthwash in the past on some Lincoln's that were beyond repair and have had some pretty good luck with it compared to acetone. DISCLAIMER: I'm not saying to use anything that is not time proven for trying to "freshen up" or dislodge foreign gunk from a Linc..... AND (I'm not yelling...lol), if it's a valuable coin I'd be very careful no matter what. Cleaning coins is not recommended but sometimes in order to see certain details we have no choice but to attempt to remove buildup. The discoloration on the reverse of this Cent looks to be more of a gunk type substance than anything else. We'll see. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 8:35 pm Not trying to keep this thread going but I thought I'd post the results of a quick cleanup on this Cent. I actually used mouthwash, not acetone on this one as I said earlier, and achieved this result. There wound up being some pretty decent purple toning behind whatever was on this coin. Not that it helped the value that much but at least it looks a whole lot better than when I found it today and in relation to the original reverse pic I posted. Thanks again.

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 8:54 pm Acetone wouldnt change the color of the copper plating. It looks very discolored like a badly cleaning coin. Acetone would have been much better. Plus you dont want to rub the coin at all. Report this Post to the Staff
Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 9:29 pm Acetone is the way to go and I won't disagree with you on that point. I just like to experiment on occasion and I'm not exactly recommending it to others. I have had good results in the past and have never seen any damage to a coin. I immersed the entire coin in the method I used. If this method caused discoloration damage to the reverse then it surely would have caused damage or discoloration to the obverse. I did not rub the coin at all. Here's a pic I just now took of the obverse which shows there is not any discoloration at all. I'm not a chemical scientist but if mouthwash is safe for your teeth and gums...... I don't see how it could damage metal. Just my thoughts with all due respect. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 02/10/2021 08:32 am Oh god. Why would you use mouthwash to clean a coin? If you don't have 100% pure acetone just leave the coin alone until you do have it. Also, teeth and metal are made of completely different things, so "if it's safe for teeth I don't see why it wouldn't be safe for metal" makes no sense at all. Metals are much more reactive in general than enamel. This is like asking "if hydrochloric acid is safe on glass, I don't see why it would be bad for metal" Edited by SamCoin 02/10/2021 08:36 am Report this Post to the Staff
