grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 8:37 pm I know the picture is not what you would like, but I think this may be good enough for what I am asking. The field seems to be like fine sandpaper. In front of Lincolns' face you can see all the microscopic marks. This is over the entire coin. If I have been reading correctly this just a very late die state coin? I figured I could do a little better than the first time.

gymcoachdon Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 9:20 pm Could be the lighting, but the coin looks like it may have been lacquered. Some collectors, years ago, used shellac or lacquer to preserve copper coins. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19942 Posts	Posted 12/18/2021 12:47 am I can't see any "sand", it's probably just flow lines. I would call this a MDS coin. You can see the devices are widening and starting to look fuzzy. IGWT is the first place to look, it seems to suffer the most from die wear. The tops of the letters get pulled toward the rim like the L in LIBERTY. In an LDS coin, they are REALLY stretched and widened. This coin is VLDS but shows well what happens as dies wear: Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Edited by BadThad 12/18/2021 12:49 am Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 12/18/2021 6:17 pm I agree tha tthe coin was laquered with a clear coat. This coin look way too shiny and uniform to be natural. the texture you feel may be that coating on the coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
