    Code 94 is Altered Surfaces.

     

    There isn't one hairline from a cleaning on the coin.

    When I was 14, I thought the tarnish was not too nice;

    I made a very mild slurry of baking soda and water &

    just dipped the coin in the Palm of my hand and used

    my finger to move the solution over the coin.

     

    Little did I realize (at the time ) I had ruined the originality

    of the coin. It's still a great looking coin. In hindsight, I should

    of never touched it.

     

    I did the same thing with my Lincoln cents when I was 14. Wouldn't it be nice to go back in time?

    I like the anacs coin. What holder is it in?

     

     

    It's in one of the newer holders. I doubt either PCGS or NGC would give it a 66. For $7 I can't complain, it has the color I love.

     

    Why is it I see so many 56's with color?

     

    I think it was because of the cardboard that held the mint sets. 1957's and 1958's are the same way, if not more so.
