Guessing it was stored in a plastic holder of some sort that wasn't really best for coins and it toned odd. I kinda liked it so picked it up today. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 3:52 pm Is it larger than a normal cent? The distance looks farther from the devices to the rims, even for an over polished die coin. That year someone was way over polishing dies that year. Report this Post to the Staff
IsThisAnything Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 4:08 pm I like that example as well. Would've picked it up for myself. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 10:25 pm Thanks for the great comments! And Coop, of course it's larger diameter as it's a broad strike. Not sure where you are going with the whole die polishing thing. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5779 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 11:01 pm Nice well centered broadstrike. Seems like I've seen this color on coins stored in those little coin sized manilla envelopes (without the primary wax paper envelopes). Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 11:23 pm Ok. Thanks. I was wondering with the space between the devices and the rims were so large. That makes sense now! Edited by coop 02/28/2022 12:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 02/28/2022 02:46 am Nice pickup! It looks like a plastic cent from a child's cash register. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955 Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves. Report this Post to the Staff
