Just wasn't able to see that in the seller's pics and it was listed as NICE GEM RED BU 1947-P NICE RED UNC DETAILS. So I saw the gem red BU part and didn't read the entire title to get to the part that called it not gem or red or BU but an UNC details coin. Very misleading coin title. Anyway, it's still a nice DDR. 1947 Lincoln Wheat cent doubled die - DDR-002 Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6110 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 11:29 pm Yup, in this case you nailed it. The coin immediately looks wrong, with color much to far on the pink side of things. Then a bit of inspection and tilting showed that the surface had been altered and luster was wrong. Still looks okay, but any expert will know it's cleaned as soon as they see it. Tougher to see that in a photo. Report this Post to the Staff
