  1. It may have been sandblasted, but there is no indication it was done at the mint. It has spent almost 50 years away from the mint. Any sandblasting or other damage was done after it left.
  2. $2 in 1960 = $20 and change in 2023. Still a bargain compared to what the mint charges today.
  3. I don’t know if this has much interest among non Lincoln collectors, but for me it would center around the myth concerning a couple of early Lincoln issues. The possibility or existence of a 1917 proof and a 1910 VDB non proof. Another question is whether MPL dies were used to strike coins meant for circulation. I’ve read conflicting articles. One said MPL dies were kept in the medal room separate from regular issue dies.
  4. This was one coin that was very hard to find in rolls and circulation, at least it was for me during my roll searching days in the early 60’s. We didn’t have any coin shops locally and social media was nonexistent.
  5. Did you receive the 100% rebate on the $16 coins that failed?
