Here Now! is One of My Greatest Treausre Hunt finds! out a .50 Roll from SunTrust Bank!! I went back to get more..and there was none of the handrolled packs! Well.. The educational HomeWork is COOL! Indeed a great site to learn the BASIC 3 Errors Possible or Acceptable to ALL concerned.Well! FRIENDZ Whats it Worth! I know there aren't too many of these where one can read things clearly,but..lucky I can see all the Marking of Liberty and etc etc...Love to Hear your POINT OF VIEW...Up coming Attraction the 1924 DOUBLE DYE FRONT and BACK!! God Bless America!
Maybe you see something I don't see but what I am seeing is a heavily-corroded 1920-S Lincoln Cent that is worth perhaps 5 cents to 10 cents.
Well, it's always cool to find a coin that old at face value, and it's always cool to find any S-mint coin in circulation on the East Coast -- but, no, nobody's going to get rich off this coin. And I'm afraid I can't make heads or tails of the part about errors.
I must ask (this is sarcasm so take this lightly and with humor) What is a double dye? is that when two different dye colors are mixed in a can? Or does that like a 2 for 1 deal?
Here is a link to a great educational thread on our site to help you along in your understanding of doubled dies: http://www.cointalk.com/t4446/ There are many links to sites with pictures and explanations of what to look for and how doubled dies occur. Hope this helps you on your quest, and welcome to CT!
Mirza, glad to hear you like searching for coins, and it's always exciting to find an older date. But you seem disappointed there were no more customer wrapped rolls. Please take it from me, I am finding things in the plastic and paper "bank" wrapped rolls. Basically, thats where coins that are collected from machines all over get wrapped "professionally" and no one is sitting there trying to get the good coins out before they go in their wrappers. So keep trying. I'll bet you will find more coins from the 1920's and 1930's, you just have to keep trying. Go look up doubling, because there are a lot of forms of doubling, most of which aren't worth anything. I know, cuz it's taken me 4 years so far to finally get a handle on what is the shelf (machine) doubling as opposed to some of the other similar ones that are worthless doubling. But it's getting better. Go find some 1992-D pennies - you will probably easily find the shelf doubling on those, it's very common. Also, it looks as if the coin was left in the gutter for many years or had acid or other corrosives on it. None of that is good for a coin for a good grading, and hence value (generally), but keep it until a better one comes along for you. You will see what I mean.
That's a great roll find, pretty low mintage coin and old! The corrosion only makes it worth the standard wheat value of 5 cents.
I just wanted to clarify before we confuse our new friend further that I believe Kasia meant to say "get a handle on HUB doubling" as opposed to other types of worthless forms like machine (shelf) doubling. If one word accidentally gets left out the entire meaning changes. That is why there is a link above to the thread that leads to websites of all the pros...misreading one statement can lead to utter confusion when learning the differences and types of doubling, although I'm sure that was an honest typo.
Typo, etc. I just didn't state my idea clearly. I was aiming for learning the difference between hub doubling (the valuable kind) and the other forms of "doubling" which are varied. I do appreciate the clarification because when I re-read my post, I can see where it was not clearly stated. Thank You.:hail:
What about 1992 No D? Is this also a pretty common error;s? I hope she can learn to download a better pic...
