    No.
    And I am the proud (lol) "maker" of the lowest graded Lincoln Memorial known (1963-D PCGS G04)....
    The coin pictured had help other than being passed from palm to palm.

    Agree.

    I do like the Lincoln head peaking out from the Memorial on the reverse.

    Sorry. I sold it probably 10 years ago.
    I was surprised it came back a 4, I thought it was AG03 at best (worst?)
    It was heavily worn.

    I know Craig had a terrific PCGS LowBall type set and I imagine that Memorial was sold to him.

    Beach find? It has a similar worn look to sea glass.

    Hmmm.... but if it is a beach find, isn't that NW?

    Don't think it's a beach find. That's usually a nasty environment for copper, yet there's no corrosion or discoloration.

    My guess is a rock tumbler, but who knows what really happened. I don't believe the wear was due to natural circulation.

    Oh No!! Now we're going from parking lot finds to beach finds? :D
