Found this today searching a bag of wheaties. Guess The Grade - Put it through an acetone soak to get rid of the black crud around the devices.
As found:
After an acetone soak and took pictures with my better camera.
Wondering if this is the normal die or the 09-S slanted B bar die?

I think it is a VF-30.
Wow, after the acetone bath I was thinking it could be as high as AU50.
XF. Nice job of treating with acetone.

Okay but i'm old school. An au Lincoln should have at least a trace of mint luster.

Agreed, just AU.
I feel an AU 50. Great find.
