kylecolb Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 03:23 am Thought this gem was in really good condition in one of my boxes of pennies this weekend. Made it's way into my book. What do you think? Also, might it be double stamped? Look at the top of the coin near "Trust" and how the circular line seems to go through trust, not sure on all the correct terminology yet, so bear with me. Almost like the edge of the penny was stamped twice? Edited by kylecolb 08/21/2011 10:44 am Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 06:07 am Not good at grading but I have found better. The line by trust is called Die Deterioration. No added value very common. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19969 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 11:06 pm We need to see the reverse, but I can tell it's an excellent example as far as plating and luster. There's no doubling or anything else special. What you're seeing is Die Deterioration, it's common on zincolns and it looks just like that and it hurts the grade. MS-65RD without even seeing the reverse (which is pretty high for these). Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
kylecolb Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 11:21 pm I need to stop coming on here when I am so tired, I keep having typos and now I am forgetting photos. Here is the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
