Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 04/08/2023 10:00 pm @2fo, I think I see some exposed zinc on the columns to the left and right of the stairs on the Lincoln Memorial. Does that look like light circulation wear to you with the coin in hand? I can't tell with these pics.

surfacewave Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 04/08/2023 10:29 pm Based on the images I am not convinced it is rdv006, FG is a bit out of focus and the feet of the AM in America look rounded to me. The G does not look quite correct, The bottom of the G has something that you might find on the letter Q. I think Coop posted images previously about this. better images would an immense help Edited by surfacewave 04/08/2023 10:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 04/09/2023 12:32 am @2foxy the G looks like RDV-006 to me as well, but I also question the font issue. Would you be able to post a clear closeup of the AME in AMERICA and I think that that would clear it up. As far as grading, I too see what looks like zinc exposure from circulation on the memorial so I would think AU at best, but possibly still worth grading if it truly is the RDV-006 reverse. Others can weigh in on that. Report this Post to the Staff

Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 04/09/2023 02:53 am It looks like RDV-006 to me. I can't say 100% for sure, but it looks like it to me. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19949 Posts	Posted 04/10/2023 2:50 pm Appears to have seen some light circulation. Pictures not clear enough to see the FG, not sure about the variety. I do know this is variety is nearly impossible to find. I searched for decades and a good friend finally had to send me one. AU-58 Lincoln Cent Lover!

2foxy Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 04/11/2023 10:26 am I think I may have just found one with a D mint, although I'm not 100% sure if this one is RDV-006. Edited by 2foxy 04/11/2023 10:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
