Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5601 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 1:30 pm , This Lincoln Memorial cent is Interesting, Looks like it was Snuggled in an Album............ The " Toning " shown here Could Very Possibly Be From Environmental Storage Conditions, I Like it, Appears IMO....... Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94636 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 4:24 pm This one has a Ridge Ring, indicating that the die was wearing out, the toning look 'applied' of 'cooked' possible roller lines or plating issues.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 12:45 am Nice find, love the toning, a keeper IMO! It's called a " Ridge Ring", an artifact of Die Deterioration, a common occurrence and not an error or variety. Lincoln Cent Lover!
