Lot #930 - 1955/1955 Doubled Die Obverse, UNC details/cleaned
Small Cents-Lincoln, Wheat
Cataloger's grade: [UNC/dipped], even though subsequent album placement induced unexpectedly attractive multi-circumferential rings of color to the obverse. Closer inspection finds some glossy texture, but the mistreatment of the surface integrity seems only mildly obvious at this point.
