I wish to apologize ahead of time as I do not have a scanner or digital camera to take pictures of this coin. I have tried with my cell phone, but they never turn out well.
I have a coin which I would like to have priced. I'm only 17, so I haven't had a huge chance to build my coin collection to anything more than a few hundred worldly, old U.S. (etc.) coins or so, but I collect 'em as I go. Anyway, there is a coin which I came across along the way that I have never found any pricing information for.
The coin is a [magnetic] steel or zinc coated 1973 D Lincoln cent. The detail of the coin is pristine, so the previous owner must have taken great care of it. It doesn't appear as if someone just went and dipped it. Granted, I don't know much abut dipping coins, but there would be signs... Right? You would think that at least one part of the coin would be somewhat puddled. Well... It's absolutely perfect. Every single detail is distinguishable from the smallest letter, to Abe's hair, to the clean rim. There is not a single part thicker than what it should be. I do know for a fact that the coin is not on a dime planchet. Also, as stated before, the coin IS magnetic. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
