Hello all, Just taking a peek from under the couch to ask about what Meow thinks looks neat at a glance but is just nothing to purr about. Meow CRH pennies every day under the couch to try and keep the bad world away. Meow found this today but suspects it may just be nothing. Just thought to ask to confirm with you guys if it is really catnip or just oregano. It is a 1960 d. It looks doubled in way that looks real yet a little MD too. It is a bit wide for MD and not totally flat. But it is a bit on the flat side. Meow suspects Meow has seen these many times before but not quite as sharp. Meow is thinking this might be like the 1972 pennies that all show various levels of two fins pointing NW on the last part of the two, and the doubling of the top round of the two showing doubling South on the inside. As all 1972s have this feature to more or less obvious degrees. 1960 d looks to have sort of familiar features such as 2s in the 1972s but a bit sharper in this example. The end of the 9 has two square ends on it but it only really shows up on the top picture due to a light angle. Is Meow right about this? Looks neat but it is just oregano right?
Oh, so small date ones have the odd artifacts on the inside ends of the 6 and the 9. So, it is just a common feature. Meow is under the impression small dates are harder to find but do not have much added value. Good to know. Thanks P&G.
I CRH quite a bit in the late 70's thru the mid 80's. Saved "S" mints, wheaties and 1960-D small dates. I averaged 1-2 5000 count bags a week. Never found a 1960-P small date. When I was searching nickels I put together 10 roll sets from 1938-1960. Never found a 1950-D. No silver nickels, sold those seperately. Sold the Buffalo's to a flea market dealer. Did more than my share on half dollars.
