Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 10/16/2021 8:07 pm Good evening. This coin appears to have raised areas which look like numbers and or letters. Especially on Lincilns face, shoulder and in the fields on the obverse, not to mention the color variation. It weighs 3.15 grams. Just looking for some knowledgeableinsight.......

Who knows what sort of chemical or environmental exposure this coin has endured over nearly the last 50 years.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/16/2021 10:18 pm I don't see "numbers and/or letters". Colouration looks to be dirt and grime built up over the years. Everything I see appears to be post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff
