Abrne11b New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 01/26/2023 1:25 pm Hello again CC.I found this coin because of the DDR on the "ONE CENT". Can I get any advice on whether this is the skinny "FG" and does the reverse look like it's been struck through tape? Thank you once again for the help. ABRNE Report this Post to the Staff

Abrne11b New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 01/26/2023 2:10 pm Thanks for the schooling John. That's why it's good to get others POV. I appreciate the help always. Once the acetone dip is done I'll post the pic if anyone wants to take a look and give me their take on it I appreciate that too. Thank you everyone for their input and I'm sure I'll be posting again. ABRNE Report this Post to the Staff
