HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24886 Posts	Posted 01/14/2024 1:48 pm mikev50, 1969 LMCs were not plated. It looks like someone worked that cent over with a wire brush or steel wool and a chemical. Just PMD.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94666 Posts	Posted 01/15/2024 07:24 am which one do you have an issue with? the P of the D cent? You don't really say but imply the P cent - which has been VERY harshly cleaned. maybe polished. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
