coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 12:22 pm Just environmental toning, coin scrapes. This coin is now a cull coin. So best to leave it alone. On of the classics that should be preserved, not add anymore altering to the coin. The beginning of the end for these coins were the rims are not tall enough to prevent the dates from wearing off so quickly on these coins. Same with the Standing Liberty coins. The classic designs are my favorites. Edited by coop 12/23/2021 12:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
