allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 04/03/2022 4:28 pm This is a first for me! I found this 1989 P zinc (I weigh all of them just in case it's copper but no luck yet) and I really like the look of this coin. I am going to put it in a flip, not because I found a DDO or DDR, but I think it's a handsome Lincoln Cent. With the background crosshatch, the script stands out and the bust of Lincoln looks great. His coat has good detail, and the tie has to be seen to believe. The Reverse, while not as good looking, has detail in the script and what looks like a small round Die Chip on the left roofline. This coin would not receive a high MS grade, but it is worth keeping as far as I am concerned. Let me know your thoughts. Regards! Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18640 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 08:02 am probably a higher grade coin but I like to see the whole coin not closeups to assess. Report this Post to the Staff

allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 11:54 am T-BOP I did see the small Die Chip attached to the D in United. But in my excitement, I failed to include it in my descriptor of the coin. Thanks for calling it out. Regards. Report this Post to the Staff
